Make sure to rest the dough ahead of time, this really helps to give you crisp, flaky gujiyas.
Make sure that the filling is completely cooled down before you start shaping.
Seal the edges properly and tight to stop the chocolate from leaking out.
Fry them on a medium heat so they get a nice even cooking and a nice golden color.
If you are baking, give them a brush with ghee to get a nice browning.
Don't overcrowd the pan, you want to keep the oil temperature nice and steady.
Add the sugar syrup after the gujiyas have cooled down a bit; this helps keep the crunch.

Arrange them on a festive tray with some dry fruits and colors, really gets you in the mood for Holi!
Pair with thandai for a classic Holi combination that never goes out of style.
