  3. Hi Jhanvi
    the first important step is -to add enough ghee or oil in the flour/maida,and to fry gujhiya – first add in medium hot oil and then lower the flame and fry till golden and crisp.if you fry on high heat then it will surely become soft after some time.and if less moyan/ghee is added then it will not become crispy.so try these 2 tips and you will get nice and crisp gujhiys:)
