Indian sweetmeat of pistachio khoya in a chocolate khoya coating for Diwali.

Ingredients:

150g grated khoya
45g powdered sugar
1 tsp cocoa powder
2 tbsp chopped pistachio nuts

Method:

Mix together the khoya and powdered sugar in a heavy-based pan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and the liquid has all evaporated away.

Take off the heat, allow to cool completely then stir and divide into two portions. Add the cocoa powder to one portion, mix well then turn out onto a lightly-floured work surface and roll out into a rectangle.

Add the chopped pistachio nuts to the other portion, mix well then form into a roll about 3cm in diameter.

Place the pistachio roll in the centre of the chocolate rectangle and roll so that the chocolate completely covers thee pistachio filling.

Wrap the resultant roll in butter paper, set on a baking tray and refrigerate until firm (about 10 minutes). Remove the paper, use a bread knife to cut into 1cm thick slices and serve.
