Notes

  • Adjust the quantity of sugar as per your taste. I prefer medium sweetness.
  • Use unsweetened good quality khoya and cocoa.
  • You can use other nuts if you like though chocolate and walnut is a classic combination.
  • You can expedite cooling of the khoya mixture by putting it in the fridge. Else it takes a good half an hour to cool adequately.
  • Do not cook cocoa for long or it will get bitter. Hence it was added at the end and hardly on the fire for about a minute.
