Heart It
Knead dough again for 4-5 minutes to make it soft and make big
gooseberry size balls with dough, roll into thin roti/chapathi of 5'
diameter or size depends on the size of your gujiya/karanji mold. The
dough has oil or mooyan as we call enough so I didn't applied oil or
flour for rolling but if you need apply drops of oil or slightly dust
with flour to roll dough and don't worry about the same of
roti/chapathi.
Grease gujiya or karanji mould with oil slightly
and place rolled chapathi on top of it. Place 1 tbsp of filling on one
side of partition. Bring another partition together and close it. Press
the edges to seal gujiya well and remove excess roti portion from mould
and keep it with rest of dough.
Press again to make sure
gujiya/karanji is sealed well, gently open mould and take out gujiya.
Repeat same for rest of dough and prepare gujiya.
Heat enough
oil for deep frying and drop 3-4 gujiya at time and fry in medium to
slow flame until both sides golden brown, do turn 2-3 times gujiya to
cook it well both sides, use slotted spoon and drain oil, keep in
kitchen tissue to drain excess oil and fry rest of gujiyas/karanji.
