Instructions
 

Prepare the Almonds

  • Soak 8-10 almonds in warm water for 15-20 minutes. Remove the skins and set aside.

Toast the Rice Flour

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee in a pan over medium heat. Add 200g of rice flour and toast until lightly golden, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

Prepare the Colored Milks

  • Divide 350ml milk into three portions (approx 100ml, 100ml and 150 ml).
  • Heat one portion of milk and add saffron strands. Let it steep to infuse the milk with color and flavor. Soak the blanched almonds in this milk mixture.
  • Heat another portion of milk and add orange food coloring to your preferred intensity. Mix well.

Make the Nut Powder

  • Finely grind 15 cashews and 25 almonds into a smooth powder.

Make the Diya Base

  • In a large bowl, combine the cooled toasted rice flour, 100g grated khoya, 200g powdered sugar, 50g grated coconut, the cashew and almond powder, and the orange food colored milk. Gently mix with your hands until a soft, pliable dough forms. Shape the dough into small diya (lamp) shapes.
  • Use a small spoon to carefully scoop out a small portion from the center of each diya, creating a well, leaving the base intact.

Prepare the Filling

  • In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 50g grated khoya, 100g powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder with the remaining milk. Mix well until smooth.

Assemble and Garnish

  • Fill the center well of each diya with the khoya-cardamom filling. Place a few soaked almonds in the center of each filling.
  • Garnish the top of each diya with a little extra khoya and cardamom powder.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Chawal K Sweet Diye

  • For a smoother dough, ensure your rice flour is completely cool before mixing.
  • Use high-quality khoya for a richer, more flavorful dessert.
  • If you don't have orange food coloring, you can use a few drops of saffron to create a warm, golden hue.
  • To prevent sticking, lightly dust your work surface with powdered sugar while shaping the diyas.
