Holi 2018 Special: 7 Interesting Ways To Make Gujiyas Healthy This Holi!

1. Baked Gujiya

Gujiya tastes the best when it is fried; however, give it a healthy twist by baking it instead of frying. Choose the filling you wish to add and bake it without having to use oil. This way, you will be able to save on some calories if not many and enjoy binging on them. Don't worry about the taste; they might turn out to be better than the fried ones.

2. Sooji Gujiya

The use of all-purpose flour or maida can be very unhealthy, which is why you can add more semolina or sooji to your outer covering along with any filling you choose to add.
