  • Diya Aur Bati by Chef Pankaj Bhadouria
The “Diya Bati” recipe represents the quintessential symbol of Deepawali – the ‘Deep’ or ‘Diya.’ It is a recipe that I had created last year for a Diwali workshop. It is the very essence of Diwali sweets.
 
Preparation time: 30 minutes
 
Ingredients:
 
1 cup coconut powder
1 cup khoya (dried whole milk) + 2 tbsp
3 tbsp cocoa powder
8 almonds
Few drops lemon yellow color
Few drops rose water
Siver warq
 
Method:
 
Cook 1 cup Khoya in a heavy bottomed pan for 2-3 minutes until it is light pink in colour. Add the coconut powder, sugar and mix well. Remove from fire and mix the cocoa powder.
 
Make a smooth dough (you can add a few tbsp milk if the dough is too dry and a few tbsp coconut powder if it’s too wet).
 
Smoothen out the remaining Khoya and add the lemon yellow food colour and few drops rose water.
 
Shape the cocoa mixture into diyas. Press the rim of the diya on silver warq.
 
Fill in with coloured khoya mixture and place an almond as a flame.
