Directions

Step

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and ghee. Mix well until the mixture becomes crumbly. Slowly add the water, a little at a time, and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and pliable.

Step

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.

Step

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the khoya, powdered sugar, mixed nuts, raisins, and cardamom powder. Mix well to make the filling.

Step

Divide the dough into small balls and roll them out into thin circles.

Step

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle and fold it in half to create a crescent shape. Seal the edges by pressing them together firmly.

Step

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the Gujiyas in batches until they turn golden brown and crisp.

Step

Drain the fried Gujiyas on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

Step

Serve hot or at room temperature. These sweet dumplings can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.

Tips for this recipe

Make sure the Gujiyas are sealed tightly before frying to prevent the filling from oozing out. You can use a fork to press down the edges of the dough circles to seal them.
