 For Stuffing: Slice Almond and Cashew finely. Grind sugar to powder. Grate Mawa by hand grater and now mix it with sugar, cardamom powder ,almond,dry grape and cashew.


Prepare dough now.Sieve all purpose flour , add ghee and salt.Make a smooth dough by adding lukewarm water.Dough should not be very soft or hard. Cover the dough by damp cloth for 5 minutes before making the balls.

Now make small ball of the dough and keep it inside the damp cloth so it won't dry. Roll each ball to make puri.

Keep the puri on gujiya maker by opening it broad. Now fill the stuffing in the one of D shape and pat one of the edge by water with your finger so it will not break while frying. Close the gujiya maker to make D shape and remove gujiya slowly so it won't break the shape. Likewise prepare all the Gujiya.

Fry Gujiya in Ghee on Medium heat else it won't cook from inside.Keep stir so it get cook all sides.Fry until color turn little golden.

Few Points to Taken care of:

1. When pressing the D shape for making Gujiya, remember that the stuffing should not lie on the edges .It will break while frying and stuffing will come out.

2. Raw Gujiya should be cover by damp cloth if it's takes longer to fry them. Dried Gujiya will break while frying.
