    Malai khaja (1) - the less common sweet.

    For the outer covering:

    Maida - 1 cups (slighty heaped)

    Ghee - 2 tbsp

    Knead to a stiff dough with warm water. I use the food processor & it comes very well.

    To smear as paste:

    Cornflour - 2 tbsp

    Refined oil - 2 tbsp

    Filling:

    Mixed & chopped nuts - 1 cup

    Dry fruits (cherries, tutti frutti etc) - ¼ cup

    Grated paneer - 3/ 4 cup

    Sugar - ¾ cup (powder in mixi)

    In a kadai, roast nuts & paneer dry, on a low fire for 5 mts, finally add dry fruits & switch off. Cool & add sugar +cardamom powder

    To deep fry - oil

    To dredge - powdered sugar

    Make small balls from the dough, the size of a lemon.

    Spread it into a chappathis as thin as possible.

    Smear the paste all over & roll from one end like a pencil.

    Roll it lightly for uniformity & cut into -4 cm pieces.

    Roll each gently, keep little filling & close like an envelope. The shape is your choice as shown in the photos.

    Deep fry till done.

    Wait till warm sprinkle sugar on it.

    No-Cook Apple Peda - a designer sweet!!

    Now, deigner sweets are very popular in famous sweet shops. So, try one to match your Diwali saree / dress!! :-D
    You can make it in any shape, have 2, 3 colours, layers etc – I am quite poor as an artist!! :biggrin2:

    The following base needs only blending & no cooking. The dough is flexible & can be moulded to any imagination.
    Use icing sugar or artificial sweetener. If using khoa with sugar, add less of the same.

    Khoa (with or without sugar) - 100gms

    Grated paneer - 100 gms

    Milk powder - 100 gms

    Icing sugar or artificial sweetener - 2-3 tsp

    Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp (optional)

    Knead all the above & shape as shown in the photos.

    Alternately, make checquered cake as shown in

    Pista Burfi - a royal looking sweet with silver-leaf topping!!

    Follow the same procedure as for


    Almond Katli with Pista Garnish
    http://www.indusladies.com/forums/1156803-post82.html



    Keep silver leaves ready. A sheet of it has tobe gently taken & reversed on the burfi when it is still hot . This is very important as otherwise it will not stick to the burfi.
    Then cut when cool and keep airtight.

    The liqid glucose is not shown in the ingredients.
    I added a drop of green food colour. This is optional.
    Glucose & colouring are not shown in the photos.
