Welcome to Healthy Kadai; today we will make gujiya for Holi.

Take refined flour (maida) to make a nice soft dough using oil.

Prepare the filling with dry fruits and sugar; you can fry the dry fruits and add sugar or buy ready-made filling.

Make a firm dough with refined flour and oil, ensuring it's a little tighter.

Take a small ball of the refined flour dough and roll it out like a chapati, ensuring the edges are not too thin.

Apply a layer of water at the edges of the rolled dough to help seal it.

Place a spoonful of the dry fruit filling in the center of the rolled dough.

Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape and seal the edges using a fork for a nice impression.

Prepare all gujiyas and air fry them instead of deep frying.

Preheat the air fryer to 180°C and place the gujiyas inside.

Air fry the gujiyas for 10 minutes, checking their status after that time.

After air frying, dip the gujiyas in sugar syrup for at least 1 minute before serving.
