Suriyakala, also known as Chandrakala in some regions, is a traditional Indian sweet that shares similarities with Gujiya. Originating from North India, particularly Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, Suriyakala is made by shaping a dough of refined flour or semolina into small discs. These discs are then filled with a sweet mixture typically consisting of khoya (solidified milk), nuts like almonds and pistachios, sugar, and fragrant spices such as cardamom. The filled discs are then sealed and deep-fried until golden brown. Once fried, they are dipped in a sugar syrup to add sweetness and moisture. Suriyakala is enjoyed during festivals and special occasions, and its name translates to "sun-shaped" in Hindi, referring to its round shape.
