Ingredients/Method

For the shell
2 cups of flour
(I prefer using 1 cup all purpose and 1 cup whole wheat. You can use either of the two. Usually its prepared with all purpose flour)
2-4 tbsp of Desi Ghee ( Clarified Butter)
Water to knead the dough
Pinch of salt

For stuffing
2-4 tbsp ghee/butter or oil
1/2 cup of Unsweetned shredded coconut
1 cup dry fruit (chopped)
1/2 to 1 cup of sugar
1/2 cup semolina/sooji (cream of wheat)
3-4 dates chopped
1 tsp fennel seeds powder
1 /2 tsp cardamom powder

Oil is also required for deep frying the gujiya.

Method:
Prepare the dough by mixing ghee, flour, water and pinch of salt. Set the dough aside for 30 mins.
Prepare the stuffing by frying coconut, dry fruits and other ingredients in a wok along with sugar. Let the stuffing cool down.
Roll out small portions of dough and fill them with stuffing. Close the pastry in semicircle. Seal the ends and deep fry until both sides are golden.
Usually it is dipped in syrup to sweeten it more but this is optional.
Enjoy with cup of Tea or coffee
