🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

Prepare the dough by mixing all-purpose flour and salt in a bowl.

Add ghee to the flour mixture and rub until crumbly.

Gradually add water and knead until smooth; cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

Heat mawa in a pan over low heat until it softens, about 5 minutes.

Stir in sugar, cardamom powder, chopped nuts, and raisins; mix well and let cool.

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.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat until hot.

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.
