Instructions

1) In a pan, add khoya and cook on low heat till it turns light brown.

2) Once brown, remove from the flame and keep it aside.

3) In a bowl, mix all purpose flour, ghee, and salt together until mixture becomes crumbly. Add water and knead it into a dough. Set aside for 30 mins.

4) In a bowl, add cooked khoya, desiccated coconut, sugar, cardamom powder, jaiphal powder, javitri powder, almonds & pista. Mix them all well together. Break into crumbs if needed.

5) Now roll out the dough thin about 3mm.

6) Using a round cutter cut the dough into small discs.

7) Place a spoonful of stuffing in the centre of each disc.

8) Brush the edges of the disc with water.

9) Lift from one side and drop it half way giving it a half moon shape.

10) Gently tap the edges to seal them.

11) Using a fork, press down the edges to give it a unique design and also further seal the stuffing inside.

12) In a deep pan, heat oil. Once the oil is medium hot, add gujia and deep fry them over a low flame until it is a brown color.

13) Remove and cool it completely before serving.
