Holi is around the corner already. Not only is this festival full of excitement due to the coloured hues of gulal, but for its delicacies. Gujiya, a sweet dumpling, is a traditional dessert popularly made on the occasion of Holi. It’s filled with the goodness of reduced milk called khoya and nuts. However, its richness may not go easy on the stomach of many. But this recipe for gujiya is the baked but healthier version to make your festivities even better.
