    This sweet is not at all hard as you think, it is so easy to make. This stores well for a week in fridge as well. So you can enjoy it whenever you want. This sweet is a must on holi, so make it enjoy it. You can use my 7 mins khoya recipe, so you can make this sweet from start to finish in under 1 hour.

    Nuts - ½ cup chopped finely
    Cardamom Powder / Yelakai - ½ tsp
    Saffron a pinch

    Method:
    Take maida, atta, salt and ghee in a bowl. mix well with your hands so oil or ghee is incorporated in the flour. Add in water and knead to a dough. Knead this dough for 5 mins till it is elastic and smooth. Cover and let the dough rest for 30 mins.

    Take the dough, roll it into log. Divide it into equal portions.
    Take a ball and roll it thinly.
    Spoon some filling in, apply water around the sides, fold over. Seal the edges, use a somasi spoon to cut the edges. Seal with a fork.

    Drain on to paper towel.
    Serve.

    Notes:
    1)Gujiyas can be store upto a week. Store this in fridge in a air tight container.
    2)You can make gujiyas with whole all purpose flour, or whole wheat flour.
    3)You can add dried coconut into the mixture.
    4)You can use sooji instead of mawa, but i like the taste of mawa in gujiyas.
    5)After frying, you can dip the gujiyas in sugar syrup for making the outer part shiny and sweet.

      Made them.when had a first bite after frying they melted in mouth with crispy outside and soft inside..
      Nextday outside layer became soft. Is that happened to you? Is it what, As stuffing is soft, the exterior also became soft?
      Wt is shelf life without refrigerating?
