Mix maida and salt in a bowl.
Heat ghee in a small pan or bowl; pour the ghee on the flour mixture.
Add water in parts and begin to knead. Knead the dough till firm.
Cover the dough with a moist cloth and keep aside for 30 minutes.
Crumble and grate the khoya.
Melt ½ tbsp ghee in a pan on a low flame, add the khoya and stir continuously on low heat till it begins to gather around itself.
After the khoya mixture is cooled down, add powdered sugar, chopped dry fruits and cardamom powder.
Divide the dough into small balls.
Roll each ball with the rolling pin into a small circle of 4 to 5 inches diameter.
Apply water all over the sides with your fingertip.
Place about 1 tbsp of the khoya filling on one side of the circle while keeping edges empty.
Carefully, bring together both the edges, join and gently press the edges.
Or you can just keep on folding and twisting the edges till the end. Use the same procedure till the dough and khoya mixture runs out. Keep these dumpling-shaped gujiyas aside.
Heat oil in a pan or kadhai. Gently slide 2-3 gujiyas in hot oil.
Fry them until they turn golden. Let them cool
