3. Now add chopped raisins, almonds and cashews in the ghee and fry for 2-3 minutes.
4. Add semolina into the pan and roast for 2-3 minutes.
5. Do not burn the ingredients.
6. After this, add grated coconut and roast for until it slightly fragrant.
7. Take it out and keep it aside.

10. Repeat the process unless you make all the gujiyas.
11. You can also make more gujiyas from the excess dough that you removed.
