Khoya and Chocolate Mithai

INGREDIENTS

Mawa (Khoya) – 2 cups
   
Sugar – 1/3 cup
   
Milk – ¼ cup
   
Cocoa powder – 2 tablespoons
   
Rose water - 1 tablespoons
   
Few rose petals

Nuts – few for garnishing (I used almonds and Pistachios)

METHOD

Heat the mawa in a pan on medium heat.

Keep stiring it for few minutes.

It will look like crumbly and start to melt. ( Don’t let it brown)

Add sugar, milk, rose water and mix well

Cook it till thickens. It will take about 3-4 minutes. Stir continuously and let it cool for sometime

Take half of mixture and keep it aside.

Add cocoa powder in other half mixture in pan and mix well.

Make small balls of the mixture

Now, take the white portion of the khoya and make thick small circle using your hand.

Place the cocoa powder balls in the centre

Fold the edges in wards like you do in a dumpling and make small balls, ensuring that no filling is exposed.

Cut from the centre and garnish it with few nuts and rose petals.
