Let's prepare for the Gujiya!:-

1. Knead the Gujiya dough that we made for 1-2 minutes.

2. To make the Gujiya we have to first make a Slurry. This is how you make a Slurry:- In a 1/2cup of water, add 1 or 1/2tsp Maida, mix it and the slurry is ready!

Let's make the Gujiya!:-

1. Take the Gujiya dough and make balls out of it.

2. Put any flat surface ( like a wooden board ) under the balls and make the balls flat using a belan ( also, use oil to grease on any flat surface and your belan so the dough doesn't stick with anything )

3. Use a Gujiya mold to mold the dough into a Gujiya shape and put the filling inside the mold ( also, put some slurry on the sides of the dough )

4. Gently close the mold and take out the access of the dough ( make sure it is tightly closed )

5. Gently take out the mold.
