7 cup Sweet for Diwali Ingredients needed Bengal gram flour / kadalai mavu / besan – 1 cup Ghee – 1 cup (melted) Grated coconut – 1 cup Milk – 1 cup Sugar – 2 3/4 cups (Add 3 cups if you want it very sweet) Cashew nuts – 8-10 Preparation Grease a tray with ghee and keep it ready. Dry grind cashew nuts coarsely. Sieve besan and keep it ready. Method Keep all the ingredients ready, including the greased tray. Dry roast besan until the raw smell goes. Do not roast too much till it changes color. Switch off the flame. Add sugar, milk and mix well so that there are no lumps. Add coarsely ground cashew nuts, grated coconut and mix well.
Add half of the ghee and now switch on the gas. Keep it in medium flame and keep stirring continuously, otherwise it will get burnt.
When the mixture starts to bubble (see pic below), add the rest of the ghee and keep stirring continuously. Scrap the sides of the pan as you stir.
When it is warm, cut it into squares or any shape with a greased knife, but do not remove the pieces in a hurry like I did. Wait for it to cool completely and then remove the slices carefully.
Since this sweet has cashew nuts, coconut and milk in it, children will love this very much, so you can make this easy breezy diwali sweet for your kids also.
