Steps

1

Saute the khoya till it's slightly brown in colour
2

Once it cools down add sugar, cardamom and almonds and mix well.
3

Give shapes to the filling and keep aside.
* Make balls of the dough and roll out into thick rounds.
4

Take a round, wet the edges and add the filling in the centre.
* Fold the other half over and press the edges together to seal.
5

You and either cut or seal the edges by twisting them in a shape of a rope.
* Make all the gujiyas in this way. Heat ghee in a kadahi. To check if the ghee is hot enough put a piece of dough in it. If it comes up at once, add the gujias and fry them till golden brown in colour.
6

Remove on a tissue paper.
* Make sugar syrup by cooking water and sugar together, till one thread consistency
* Dip the gujiyas in it, lift and let dry on a plate.
* Serve hot or on room temperature. Store them in an airtight container

Sprinkle some dry fruits on the gujia when removed from the sugar syrup so that they stick to them and look good.
