Equipment
- Non-stick Kadai
Ingredients
- ½ Ltr Full Cream Milk
- 3 Tablespoon White Vinegar
- 4 Tablespoon Water
- 3 Tablespoon Grated Khoya
- 1 Tablespoon Ghee
- 1½ Cup Nolen Gur Divided (½ Cup for Filling and 1 Cup for Chashni)
- 12 Large Cashews coarsely grinded
- ½ Teaspoon Ground Cardamom
- Halved Cashews for Garnish
Instructions
- In a pan boil milk. In the meantime mix plain white vinegar with water. Stir well and keep it ready. Once the milk comes to a slow boil, add your vinegar+water mixture and stir well until the milk solid separates completely.Take a large bowl and keep a strainer on that. Strain the milk solid and then wash it thoroughly with water so that any sour smell of vinegar washes off.
- Take out your milk solid in a plate. Knead well with your hand so as to remove any traces of moisture from it. Now add khoya and mix well. Combine everything to make it in the form of a dough.
- In a non-stick kadai or wok heat some ghee. As the ghee melts, add the milk solid dough and mix well using a rubber or a wooden spatula. Add Nolen Gur and mix well until combined. The mixture will look liquid-y at the moment. That's completely ok. Now add coarsely ground cashews and cardamom powder. Mix well.Now turn up the heat and stir until the mixture thickens completely. Keep a close eye and don't allow the filling to stick to the bottom of the pan.Once done, take it out on a plate and spread it out using a spatula. Allow this to come down at room temperature.
- In a separate kadai or wok add nolen gur. Stir well until the chashni thickens to a 1-string consistency.
- Now make small balls of your filling and coat these balls in the sticky chashni that you made. Coat it completely and let it stay on a plate. Allow it to cool down completely. Finally, use a knife to take them out of the plate and serve with a halved cashew or a raisin or chopped pistachio on top. Enjoy.
