To prepare the enchiladas or gujiyas
- Mix together both the flours and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add ghee and rub the flours with your fingers to form a crumby texture.
- Now add water little by little and try to bring it together and knead it to a firm dough.
- Cover the bowl and leave it to rest for 15-20 minutes.
- Before proceeding to roll it knead it well once again for 2-3 minutes.
- Make small balls of the dough. Dust the rolling board lightly with little flour and roll each ball to a small circle or rotis of around 4 to 5 inches diameter or of the size of the gujiyas.
- Place around 1 tbsp of filling on one side of the circle, bring together both the edges and join it shaping it into gujiyas. Gently press the edges with a fork from both the sides.
- Heat little oil in a frying pan and shallow fry it till done from both the sides.
- Serve hot with tomato ketchup or green chutney.
