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?
Aarthi

store it always in fridge, since it has milk product
