Prepare the Dough

Mix maida, ghee, and salt.

Rub to form a breadcrumb texture.

Knead into a stiff dough using water. Cover and rest for 30 mins.

Prepare the Filling

Roast khoya lightly until it turns slightly golden. Cool.

Mix roasted khoya, powdered sugar, nuts, coconut, cardamom powder.

Shape the Gujiyas

Roll small portions of dough into circles.

Place a spoonful of filling in the center.

Fold over into a half-moon shape. Seal edges properly using water.

You can press with a fork or hand-crimp for traditional design.

Deep fry gujiyas in medium-hot oil until golden and crisp.

(Optional: Dip fried gujiyas in light sugar syrup if you want a glazed version.)
