- 2 cups + 1 tablespoon Khoya/mawa (375 grams) , grated
- 1/2 cup Sugar (125 grams)
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon Liquid chocolate food colour
- 7-8 Almonds , slivered and soaked in saffron water
Method
- Heat a non-stick pan, add khoya and saute till it melts. Add sugar and mix well and cook, on medium heat, stirring continuously, till sugar dissolves and mixture starts leaving the sides of pan.
- Transfer a small portion of cooked mixture into a small bowl and the remaining mixture into another bowl. Add cocoa powder to the mixture in the second bowl and mix well. Add liquid chocolate food colour and mix well. Refrigerate both mixtures for 10-15 minutes or till they are set.
- Divide cocoa-khoya mixture into medium equal portions and shape each into a ball. Flatten each ball slightly, raise the edges and shape into a diya.
- Take small portions of the plain khoya mixture, roll and shape into vaatis. Place them on the diyas.
- Stick soaked almond slivers on vaatis to form jyot (flame).
