Make as many Gujia as you want in same manner.

Now, bake these Gujia's in microwave for 20mins at 180 degree Celsius. Brush these Gujia's with oil before baking(for crispiness)

Since I like every snacks little crispy, I keep these gujia's in grill/convention mode for 5 extra minutes. You can have these Gujia's along with mint chutney or coriander-tomato chutney or even tomato sauce.
