Description

Gunjiya, also known as Gujiya, is a cherished Indian sweet that is especially popular during festivals such as Holi. This delectable treat is made from a crispy, fried dough that encases a rich and sweet filling. The filling typically consists of khoya (milk solids), grated coconut, and a mix of finely chopped nuts and dried fruits, all sweetened with sugar.

The preparation of Gunjiya involves rolling out the dough into small circles, placing the filling in the center, and then folding and sealing the edges to create a half-moon shape. The pastries are then deep-fried until they turn golden brown and crispy. The combination of the crunchy outer shell and the sweet, rich filling makes Gunjiya a favorite festive treat, bringing joy and sweetness to celebrations and special occasions.
