Gujiya is a popular sweet dish, commonly served during the Holi festival in India. However, there’s no reason why this fried, crescent-shaped pastry, made from all-purpose flour and filled with mawa (a milk product) and nuts, can’t be a year-long treat. Frying lends a crispy edge to the sweet, while the filling is warm, crumbly, and rich.
