Simply Blissful Living dear ur awesome.... The moment i saw ur recepie thaougt of dng today itself... But in pratical too lazy to tryout

[@SBLtasteoffiji]

I totally get that! I have lazy days too! 😂

[@richagrover5539]

As the gujiya is made of milk.. it can be kept for how many days?

[@SBLtasteoffiji]

You can keep it in the fridge for a couple of weeks easily. If keeping it at room temperature, I wouldn’t recommend more than 3-5 days.

[@SBLtasteoffiji]

Also Richa, if you want to keep it at room temp longer just use water. Won’t make too much a difference in taste. ☺️
