Question: why is gujia made on holi?
Answer: Gujiya. Gujiya is a sweet fried dumpling which is filled with a mixture of milk solids (mawa/khoya) and nuts. These mawa gujiya are the perfect festive treat, the addition of coconut makes them so special! In North India, gujiya is typically made during the festival of colors, Holi which is only a few days away.
