Notes

  • I used Cashew, Badam and Pista. You can use any nuts of your choice.
  • You can even toast the nuts and powder it.
  • Make sure the khoya mixture comes together before you switch off else you cannot shape it.
  • If it doesn't come together, cook for few more mins.
  • I used unsweetened khoya form Nilgiris which was dark in color as you can see. You can use homemade too.
  • You can even stuff it up with dry fruits nuts mixture.
