Gujjiyas are a must have on every Diwali. But indulging in this deep fried delicacy is just not in sync with one's weight-loss goals. Nor it is recommended for those suffering from heart diseases and diabetes. My twist to this traditional recipe is substituting the all purpose flour with gluten free one and keeping the filling light. Instead of loading it with sugar, khoya and mawa, I used chocolate, chilli and brown sugar gives it a nice flavor. Further it is baked instead of being deep fried.
