Steps
Preparing the Outer layer
Add the all-purpose flour, a pinch of salt and the ghee to a wide bowl.
Mix the flour and ghee together. Ensure the ghee and flour are well combined.
Add ½ cup of milk in the center. Mix the flour and form the dough.
Knead it into a soft dough and cover it with a damp cloth and set aside.
Preparing the filling
In a microwave safe bowl, add the milk powder, crushed pistachios/almonds, cardamom powder and condensed milk.
Mix them all together and microwave it for 30 seconds.
Remove it from microwave and mix the filling vigorously and microwave again for 30 seconds.
Mix it again, and it should be crumbly like below. Now the filling is ready.
Assembling
Remove the damp cloth from the dough and pinch small lemon sized balls.
Roll the dough gently into soft, smooth balls.
Using a rolling pin, roll the ball into a small round like roti.
Spread the edges of the rolled dough with water using your fingertips.
Take about 1 tbsp of the prepared mawa filling and place it in the center.
Carefully bring the edges together and press the edges and form like a semi-circle. Make sure the edges are sealed properly. Using a fork, press the edges to create the striped pattern.
Follow the same procedure and fill the remaining gujiyas too.

Glaze: Meanwhile the glaze can be prepared. In a small bowl add the 1 tbsp of milk and condensed milk and whisk them well. After 8 minutes, remove the gujiyas from the oven and flip them.
Apply the condensed milk glaze using the pastry brush on the flipped side.
