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

Add ghee to the flour mixture and rub until it becomes crumbly.

Gradually add water and knead until the dough is smooth; cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.

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

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

Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a circle using a rolling pin.

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

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

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

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

Remove the gujiyas and drain them on paper towels; let them cool slightly.

Dust the gujiyas with powdered sugar before serving.
