If there's one dessert that screams extra while still giving traditional vibes, it's chocolate gujiya—a sweet treat that's been dipped, drizzled, and upgraded into the chocolate lover's dream. Let's dive into this easy-yet-fancy chocolate gujiya recipe that's about to become your festive flex.

Start with the dough: in a bowl, mix 1 cup of flour, 3 tablespoons of ghee (because buttery goodness is non-negotiable), a pinch of salt to balance it out, and just enough water (roughly 1 cup) to knead it into a smooth, soft dough.

Cover it with a damp cloth and let it chill while you whip up the filling.
- 4
For that, grab 2 cups of mava and cook it gently with 2 cups of sugar on low heat until it turns into a thick, luscious mixture.
- 5
Sprinkle in a pinch of cardamom powder for that classic aroma, and once it's off the heat, stir in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips—because what's a recipe of chocolate gujiya without a gooey chocolatey center? Let the filling cool while you roll out the dough into small, thin circles.

Pop a spoonful of the filling in the center, fold them into perfect half-moons, and seal the edges with a fork for that rustic-but-chic look.

Heat oil in a pan (medium heat, please—we're not about to burn these beauties), and fry the gujiyas until they're crispy, golden, and begging to be devoured.
- 8
Now for the shiny sugar syrup: boil equal parts sugar and water until it's just thick enough to coat your gujiyas in a sweet, glossy hug.
- 9
Dip each gujiya in the syrup, then set them aside to cool.

To level up your plating game, melt 250 grams of fine chocolate with 250 grams of cream to create a velvety ganache, then drizzle it all over the gujiyas like a pro chocolatier.

Top it off with a sprinkle of crushed cardamom (50 grams), because we're fancy like that.
