Bihar Khaja Recipe | Authentic Crispy Layered Indian Sweet

0 likes 0 reviews 21 views

 Bihar Khaja is a traditional Indian sweet made from thin layers of flour dough that are folded, rolled, and deep-fried until crisp and flaky before being coated with sugar syrup. Especially associated with Bihar and famous in places such as Silao, this delicate sweet is known for its light, crunchy layers and gently glazed exterior. Khaja is commonly prepared for festivals, weddings, religious celebrations, and special family occasions. Made with simple ingredients such as flour, ghee, sugar, and water, this classic Bihari dessert is a beautiful example of India's rich regional sweet-making tradition. 

Cooking Method


  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the ghee and rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Gradually add water and knead into a smooth, firm dough.
  3. Cover and let the dough rest for 20 minutes.
  4. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a very thin rectangle.
  5. Mix the melted ghee with 2 tablespoons of flour to make a smooth paste.
  6. Brush one rolled sheet lightly with the ghee-flour mixture. Place another sheet on top and brush again. Continue layering the sheets.
  7. Roll the stacked sheets tightly into a long log. Slice the log into equal pieces.
  8. Gently roll each piece into a small rectangle or oval, taking care not to flatten the layers completely.
  9. Heat the frying oil over medium heat. Fry the Khaja in batches until crisp and lightly golden. Drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
  10. To make the syrup, combine the sugar and water in a saucepan. Simmer until slightly sticky, then stir in the cardamom and lemon juice.
  11. Dip the warm Khaja briefly into the syrup, coating it lightly. Remove and place on a rack to allow the syrup to set.
  12. Serve once the coating has cooled and the layers have become crisp.
