3 tablespoons Ghee
1/2 cup Milk
1/2 cup Sooji (Semolina/ Rava)
1/2 cup Fresh coconut , grated
1 cup Sugar , fine

1/2 tablespoons Nutmeg powder

Method:
To begin with Semolina Gujiya, heat heavy bottomed pan with 1 tablespoon of ghee and add Sooji.
Saute the Sooji/semolina till it turns golden or light brown in colour. Once the colour is changed, add in the grated coconut.
Once the sooji is cooked, remove it from the heat and transfer it in a bowl.
Add sugar, cardamom powder, nutmeg powder, khus khus and dry fruits. Mix everything properly and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
The next step is to make dough for the gujiyas.
In a bowl add the maida along with salt and 2 tablespoons of ghee Add the cold milk little by little to make a firm ball of dough.
Divide the dough into equal portion, dust in flour and roll them out into 2 inch diameter flattened rotis. Place them in a Gujiya mould or Calzone maker and place a portion of the stuffing in the hollow part.
Apply a little milk on the edges, close the mould and press firmly.
Deep fry in the ghee or cooking oil, to your liking and place it on an absorbent tissue paper.
Once done, it is ready to be served.
