How to Make Non-Fried Gujiya
- Prepare the filling – Boil milk in a pan until it thickens to resemble khoya. Once done, remove it from heat and let it cool.

- Prepare the dough – Take all-purpose flour in a bowl, add ghee, and knead it using lukewarm milk. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
- Shape the Gujiya – Make small portions of the dough and roll them out. Fill each with the prepared stuffing and seal the edges properly.
