It is a traditional Indian sweet dish prepared for festivals like Diwali, Holi and on special occasions. Since Diwali is nearly here, we’ve decided to celebrate with this traditional sweet – in a slightly different form!
Here we have made the outer covering of the Gujiya using whole wheat flour, suji and milk. The stuffing is made up of dry fruits powder and is free from refined sugar. Don’t you just love it when you can have something that’s delicious and healthy too? So let’s go ahead and check out the recipe!

Method:
1. In a mixing bowl take the whole wheat flour. Add suji, salt, and ghee to it and mix well.
2. Add warm milk as required and knead into a semi tight dough.
3. Cover and allow the dough to rest for 15 minutes.
4. Meanwhile let’s prepare the stuffing for the gujiya.
5. In a bowl take the de-seeded and chopped dates. Add desiccated coconut and dry fruit powder to it and combine well. Stuffing is now ready.
6. Make 8 equal portions of the dough and roll out each dough ball into a disc. Hold the disc into your palms. Add 1 tablespoon stuffing over it. Fold the disc to make a half circle. Seal the edges by applying little milk on the corners.
7. Now either shape the gujiya in the traditional way by creating beautiful pleated pattern around the edges as shown in the pics and video or simply make impressions using a fork.
8. Prepare all the gujiya similarly.
9. Heat oil in a wok at medium heat.
10. Tip in 2-3 gujiya into the oil and deep fry until the gujiyas turn golden brown from both the sides.
11. Remove the gujiya using a slotted spoon and allow to drain on an absorbent paper. Serve the gujiya fresh.
If storing the gujiya, let it cool down completely before transferring into an air tight container. The gujiya stays good for a day or two at room temperature in an air tight container. As the stuffing is made of dates, storing the Gujiya for longer will make them soggy. You want to enjoy it the way it should be – crisp, flaky and delicious! You can serve the dry fruit gujiya as an offering to God or to kids over 1.5 years – the stuffing with chopped dates, desiccated coconut and dry fruits powder makes it a healthy treat for them too.
