Let's make Gujiya at home and enjoy it without compromising your diet;

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 tbsp ghee (clarified butter)
Water
1 cup khoya (reduced milk solids)
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup grated coconut
1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds, cashews, pistachios)
1/2 tsp cardamom powder
Oil or ghee

Steps to follow;

1 In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and ghee. Rub the ghee into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Slowly add water, a little at a time, and knead until a smooth dough forms. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

2 Heat a non-stick pan on medium heat and add the khoya. Stir continuously until the khoya turns light golden brown. Add the powdered sugar, grated coconut, chopped nuts, and cardamom powder. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.

3 Divide the dough into small lemon-sized balls. Roll out each ball into a small circle. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each circle. Fold the circle in half to cover the filling and press the edges firmly to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative finish.

4 Heat oil or ghee in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry until they turn golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove from the oil and drain on paper.

5 Eat and enjoy!!
