Gujiya/Turnover is a classic North India sweet which is crispy, flaky pastry filled with khoya/mawa and nuts stuffing. Gujia is generally deep fried. This are traditional is sweet that is made for Holi or Diwali festival.
Measurement 1 Cup = 200 Ml Cup
Ingredients
For The Dough

2 Cups All Purpose Flour
¼ Cup Desi Ghee
¼ Teaspoon Salt
½ Cup +1 Tablespoon Water 
For The Stuffing 
125 Grams Mawa/ Khoya Homemade
2 Tablespoons Fine Semolina/Rawa 
1 Cup Level Powdered Sugar
½ Teaspoon Green Cardamom Powder
1 Tablespoon Lightly Toasted Charoli - finely chopped
2 Tablespoons Golden Rasins– finely chopped
20 Lightly Toasted Cashewnuts - finely chopped
20 Lightly Toasted Almonds - finely chopped
½ Cup Desiccated Coconut
Method
Dry roast the semolina on a pan till light pink, remove and keep aside.
In the same pan separately toast the cashewnuts, almonds and charoli lightly, remove and keep them in a plate. Then finely chop them.
For The Dough 
Rub the ghee into flour with your hands well till it represents bread crumbs. Then first add ¼ cup water and start to knead into a stiff dough, add the other ¼ cup and make a stiff dough if necessary just a teaspoon to a tablespoon of water. 
This dough will not be smooth at all, but, do not worry just cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 45 minutes to an hour. In the meantime let's prepare the stuffing/filling.
Chop the dry fruit finely and mix in the desiccated coconut and cardamom powder.
Microwave the mawa on high power for a minute. Cool then add rest of the ingredients and mix well the filling is ready.
The dough has been rested and become smooth, knead it well again. make lemon size balls and roll it into a slightly thick puri. 
then cut it with a round cutter or use a gujiya mold to make them slightly wet the edges with water.  
then place a heaped tablespoon of filling. 
Cover it and seal it the edges by pressing it with your thumb, then with a fork make a design.
Like wise make all and let them rest covered with a damp cloth for 10 minutes.
In the meantime pour oil into deep frying pan and heat it till slightly hot and on medium low flame frying them 3 - 4 at a time or more if your pan is bigger till golden brown.
These are all fried, crispy flaky.
These are packed and ready to take for our trekker's party on the hills. Enjoy!!
My Notes
Make sure you do not add a lot of water while kneading the dough - the dough should stiff/hard.
Cook the khoya properly until it releases fat and become bit brown.
If you feel that the stuffing is dry the add few teaspoons of milk
Rest the dough properly and it will become easy to use.
You don’t need to apply any dry flour to roll the dough
Do not fry the gujiya on a high flame the flame should always be low.

2 Ingredients Keto Irish Shrimps Pastry Turnovers#SundayFunday

These are super delicious and easy to make. No fat head dough and yet crisp.

Makes 5
Ingredients

2½ Tablespoons Hung Curd/Greek Yogurt
¼ Teaspoon Xanthan Gum
1/8 Teaspoon Salt
¾ Cup + 1 Tablespoon Almond Flour
For The Filling
200 Grams Cleaned Shrimps/Prawns
1 Tablespoon Salted Butter
⅓ Cup Irish whiskey - I used Bushmills
2 Tablespoons Heavy Cream
2 Tablespoon Finely Chopped Colored Bell Peppers
2 Tablespoon Finely Chopped Onion
Chopped Chives or Scallion Greens
Salt, Black pepper & Cayenne powder to taste
2 Tablespoons Heaped Grated cheese
Method
For The Filling
In a large metal saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter.
Add shrimp and season with salt, pepper, cayenne and paprika.
Toss in butter and cook. Should take around 3-4 minutes depending on the size of your seafood. Remove seafood from pan and reserve on a plate. Chop it in tiny pieces and keep aside.
In the same pan add the onion and sauté until soft and translucent, then add the colored bell peppers and sauté for a minute. Gently add whiskey to pan, bring this to a boil. Then switch on the flame add cream and simmer for 3-5 minutes or until it thickens and all the the mixture is dry. Add seafood back into saucepan and toss to coat. Top with a sprinkling of chopped chives or scallion greens. Keep aside to cool the filling is ready.
For The Dough
In a bowl add the hung curd, xanthan gum and salt, mix well. Keep adding the almond flour little at a time to make a nice dough ( the amount almond flour added to make a dough will depend on the how thick the hung curd is). When you get a nice soft dough. Cover with a cling wrap and let is rest for 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper dusted with little almond flour to a medium thick circle. 
Cut small circles from the dough using a bowl or a cookie cutter. 
Place a tablespoon of the filling in one side of the circle. Lightly brush the edges with water and close the pastry to form a empanada. 
Trim the edges with a pizza cutter. Like wise make the rest, re rolling the left over dough.
Place all the turnovers/empanadas it in a lined baking tray with a silicon mat. As your can see the last one is made from a leftover dough and patched to make a turnover. This dough is so forgiving, you patch up any crack. Prick the top with a fork. Refrigerate it for 15 minutes.
In the meantime preheat the oven 180°C. Bake the turnovers/empanadas for 10 to 15 minutes or until the edges start to brown. 
Cool them on wire rack. 
Enjoy when warm!!
