Divide the dough into small balls and roll each into a circle.

Place a spoonful of the mawa filling in the center of each circle.

Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape and seal the edges by pressing with fingers.

Fry the gujiyas in batches until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes each.

Remove and drain on paper towels; let cool slightly.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
