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

Add water gradually and knead until smooth; cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

In a pan, heat ghee and add grated coconut, sugar, chopped nuts, cardamom powder, and raisins; cook until sugar dissolves.

Remove from heat and let the filling cool down.

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

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

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

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

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

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
