Diwali is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than with a simple, delicious, no-cook mithai that can be ready in just 20 minutes. This easy sweet treat is perfect for hosts looking to impress guests without spending hours in the kitchen.
Ingredients:
- Milk powder 1.5 cups
- Desiccated coconut powder 1/2 cup
- Sugar powder 1/2 cup
- Milk 1/4 cup
- Crushed dry fruits of your choice
- Desi ghee
- Silver leaf (chandi ka warq)
Method:
- In a mixing bowl, combine milk powder, desiccated coconut powder, and sugar powder.
- Gradually add milk and knead with your hands until the mixture forms a slightly sticky dough.
- Divide the dough into two halves. Roll out one half into a circle and sprinkle crushed dry fruits evenly over it. Roll this portion into a thick cylinder.
- Roll out the second half of the dough large enough to wrap the first cylinder, sealing the edges neatly for a polished appearance.
- Place the mithai in the fridge to set.
- Once firm, coat the surface with silver leaf and slice the roll into attractive half-moon bites.
- Store in the fridge; the mithai stays fresh for a few days.
Tip: The dough is sticky, so roll it on parchment paper lightly greased with ghee to prevent sticking and ensure easy handling.
This chewy, nutty, and festive sweet will make a hit at any Diwali gathering, offering both ease of preparation and a visually stunning presentation.
