Start by taking all-purpose flour and adding a little oil to it; mix until crumbly.

Gradually add water and knead to form a tight dough; cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.

In a blender, take 4 fresh paan leaves and add 2 tablespoons of water to make a paste.

Strain the paste to remove excess water; add a few drops of green food color for better color.

In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and add the dry fruits; stir until they turn light brown.

Add the prepared paan paste to the dry fruits and mix well.

Add sugar and cardamom powder to the mixture; mix until combined and turn off the heat.

Let the stuffing cool down on a plate.

Once cooled, mix in tutti-frutti and gulab jamun essence to the stuffing.

Remove the dough cover and roll it out into small circles, not too thin or thick.

Place a spoonful of the stuffing in the center of each circle; fold and press the edges to seal.

Preheat the air fryer for 10 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.

Grease the air fryer basket and place 4 gujiyas in it; brush with oil on top.

Close the air fryer and cook at 180 degrees for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, check if they are done; if not, cook for an additional 5 minutes.
