SURYAKALA SWEET RECIPE/STUFFED KHOYA SWEET RECIPE

Festival season is on.... So, thought to share some indian sweet recipes with you. Then immediately this recipe came to my mind and started making these cute suryakalas.

        Suryakala sweet is an Sun shaped famous indian sweet dish stuffed with khoya/mava and some dry fruits and nuts.which is mostly prepared on festivals,  There is an another sweet called chandrakala, for this chandrakala recipe is same but shape is different. I'm going to share that recipe also in my blog very soon.

       we always buy these sweets from sweet shops, we call this khoya poori. In telugu and in other languages we call suryakala. Making surya kala is so simple,  but yes, it takes some time to prepare these surya kala. But tastes exactly as storebought sweets. Trust me if you follow this exact recipe you will have awesome homemade suryakalas in your hands.I used my homemade khoya (recipe here) in this recipe you can also use storebought khoya/mava. If you are using sweetend khoya reduce sugar powder to half.

I hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turned out for you.
