Dried Coconut (grated) 25 gms
Sugar 350 gms 

Ghee / Oil to fry


Method

Sieve the flour.
Mix the six tablespoons of oil with the flour.
Using fingers, mix well so that the mixture takes the form of breadcrumbs and binds to a certain extent.
Now add some water and knead lightly.
Keep adding water as required and knead into a soft but tight dough.
Set aside and cover with a damp cloth.
Now mash the khoya and fry it in a kadhai till light brown in color.
Add sugar and cardamom powder into the khoya and mix well.
Add almonds, cashews, coconut and raisins.
Fry for 2 minutes and remove from the heat.
Allow it to cool.
Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a small round of 4 inch diameter.
Fill half the round with the khoya mixture, fold it and seal the round, twisting the edges inwards.
Take care that the filling does not ooze out.
Prepare all the gujiyas and spread on a cloth.
Heat ghee in a kadhai and deep fry the gujiyas in batches on a medium flame..
When golden brown in colour, drain and remove.
