INGREDIENTS

• 3/4 th can of condensed milk
• 2 cups full cream milk powder
• 4 tbsp of milk
• 2  heaped tsp Cocoa powder 
• 2 tsp unsalted butter

METHOD

• Melt the butter for 5 seconds in a microwave safe bowl. Add condensed milk to this and mix.
• To this mixture add milk powder in parts and keep mixing until it forms a thick paste without lumps.
• Sift the cocoa powder and keep it aside.
• Microwave the milk base for 30 seconds. Remove and mix well. Add the cocoa powder and  4 tbsp milk and mix well Addition of milk loosens the dough a bit and helps to incorporate the cocoa powder lump free.
•  Repeat the cooking with the same 30 second intervals.
• When almost close to 1 min and 30 seconds the paste will thicken and become a stiff dough  that will be difficult to stir free. Stop at this point and leave it on your kitchen counter to cool.
• Line a tray with parchment/ wax / butter paper.
• When the mixture is safe enough to handle, wet your palms and and smear ghee. 
• Pinch small portions of the dough and roll into balls without cracks. Flatten in between palms and make a dent in the middle. 
• Place chopped nuts on top and arrange it on the tray. 
• Let it cool down completely before you transfer into your edible gift boxes.
• Happy Deepavli folks.
