  • As the dough rests, we can make the stuffing. For this, mix the gulkand and dry fruits and set aside.

  • After the rest time is over, take the dough and knead it a little to give it a uniform texture. Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball flat and add sufficient amount of stuffing to this.
