Gujiyas are deep-fried dumplings that have a rich, sweet filling that is wrapped in a dough made with flour and semolina, the outer shell of the Gujiya is made crispy by frying it in ghee and dipping it in a sugar syrup which gives a crispy bite on the outside and a soft filling inside made to melt in your mouth.
Gujiyas are eaten during the festival of Holi where they are prepared at home and gifted to people during the festival.
The half moon-shaped sweet is distinguished by the way it is made.
gujiyas are filled with the richest the condiments like cardamom, khoya, cashews, raisins, etc
Gujiyas nowadays come with a variety of fillings like halwa Rabri, the classic khoya filling and even in a chocolate flavour.
Gujiyas are said to be found in India but are said to have a Turkish influence from the dish called baklava which is a flaky pastry with a sweet filling.
The earliest mention of Gujiyas is said to be in the 13th century where a wheat dough filled with a mixture of jaggery and honey was sun dried to be made into a gujiya.
The Gujiyas is a dish which is eaten throughout the northern parts of India and are a symbol of festivities, and bringing people together.
