It's been long when we used to be at home on holi and mom used to make this special dish to savour on holi. Somehow, I never liked the gujiyas sold in the market. So this time I thought to try my hand on making it all by myself. Of course, it couldn't have been possible without my dear sister :)
Though making gujiyas does take time and effort, but the taste of this scrumptious dish is worth all the effort. Here's the recipe for the same :

2) Now take maida and keep putting some oil and mix it till the mixture starts showing out soft bubbles. Now add water and knead into a soft dough.(Tip: Once the dough starts leaving oil in your hand, it is ready to be used)
3) Roll out the kneaded dough into small chappatis (Tip : Keep the sides a little thinner than the centre)
4) Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a small round of 4 inch diameter. Fill half the chappati with the khoya mixture, fold it and seal the round with a little water. Decorate the ends by twisting the edges inwards as shown below:
Take care that the filling does not ooze out.

5) Now deep fry the gujiyas in oil on medium flame till golden brown (Tip : If the gujiyas are not sealed properly, they might open up while frying, so be careful if they open out, remove them immediately)
6) Take them out with a sieve type ladle and drain the oil completely.
Your gujiyas are ready to eat!!
Enjoy the gujiyas and wish you all a very happy Holi!!
