Khaja sweet recipe

       Khaja is a traditional Indian sweet known for its crisp, flaky texture and syrupy sweetness. Originating from the eastern states of Bihar and Odisha, Khaja is made by layering thin sheets of dough, typically prepared from refined flour (maida), and then deep-frying them until golden brown. After frying, the sweet is soaked in sugar syrup, which gives it a glossy finish and rich taste. The outer layers remain crunchy while the inner parts become slightly soft and syrup-infused, creating a delightful contrast. Khaja is especially popular during festivals, religious offerings, and weddings, and is also famously offered at the Jagannath Temple in Puri as part of the Mahaprasad.
