Recipe
1
Grate or crumble the khoya thoroughly to ensure there are no lumps.
2
Heat a heavy-bottomed pan on low flame and add the crumbled khoya, stirring continuously for about 10 to 15 minutes until it softens and turns slightly golden.
3
Remove the pan from heat and allow the khoya to cool down to lukewarm temperature.
4
Add the powdered sugar, green cardamom powder, and a splash of milk to the warm khoya, mixing thoroughly to form a smooth, pliable dough.
5
Grease a flat tray or plate with ghee, then press the khoya mixture evenly into the tray, smoothing the top.
6
Garnish the surface generously with sliced almonds and pistachios, pressing them gently into the mixture.
7
Allow the mixture to set completely at room temperature for an hour, then cut into neat diamond or square shapes before serving.
