ABOUT Baked Karanji in Air Fryer RECIPE

Another name for Gujiya is Karanji (In Marathi). I prepared this sweet karanji for Diwali. Now a days everybody has become health conscious. So I baked this in air fryer. So no need of oil or ghee for frying. I have added Gulkand for rose flavour. Gulkand is a sweet preserve of rose petals. Everyone appreciated it as it was a baked and uniqe item of Diwali Sweets.
