Gujiya is a sweet fried dumpling which is filled with a mixture of milk solids (mawa/khoya) and nuts.

In North India, gujiya is typically made during the festival of colors, Holi which is only a few days away.

As a child, getting to eat gujiya was the only thing that made me excited about this festival.

Throwing colors and water on everyone was never my cup of tea and Diwali was and will always be my favorite festival.
