Chandrakala is a traditional North Indian sweet similar to Gujiya, made with Khoa and Ghee. Although more commonly deep-fried, this version is baked for a lighter option. This delightful sweet comprises a dough made from all-purpose flour and ghee, filled with a sweet mixture of Khoa, coconut sugar, and nuts, then dipped in a fragrant sugar syrup.
