Indian apple peda sweetmeat for Diwali. This is also great if you want something a little different to serve for Hallowe'en.

Ingredients:

100g khoya (also known as khoa)
100g grated paneer cheese
100g milk powder
3 tsp icing sugar
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
food colouring
whole cloves

Method:

Grate the paneer and mix in a bowl with the khoya (this can be sweetened or not, depending on choice), milk powder, icing sugar and ground cardamom. Bring all the ingredients together to form a stiff dough and colour as desired with your choice of food colouring (you can either make them garnish or natural).

Take apple-sized pieces of the mixture and shape. Place in paper cases and set an inverted clove in the top to form a stalk. Leave out over night for the surface to dry then store in an air-tight container until needed.
