Making the dough . Take all purpose flour in a bowl,drizzle ghee and rub it into flour using your fingertips

,it will be breadcrumb like texture

Start adding little water at a time , knead into stiff and smooth dough

Divide it into equal portions

Work with one flatten disc at a time roll into 4 inch diameter circle

Put about a tablespoon stuffing in the center

Apply little water around the edges using your finger or you can use brush

Fold it into half circle ,seal the edges by pressing it ,if you have gujiya moulds then use that

Make all the gujiya and keep them covered with kitchen towel to prevent it from drying out

Once it is golden brown and crispy from all sides ,use the slotted spoon to remove it
