This yummy sweet, a kind of a fudge made from rice flour, is a must for Diwali in Haryana and Punjab. If properly made and stored, it will keep for several days!

Ingredients

• 250 gms ground rice flour
• 175 gms bhurra or powdered mishri sugar (or powdered ordinary sugar if mishri is not available)
• 100 gms ghee
• 25 gms raisins
• 25 gms meva or mix of chopped dried fruit and nuts -- cashew nuts, almonds, pistachios and dates

Method

In a flat pan or karhai or wok roast the rice flour with ghee. Let it not burn or get 'coloured'. Let it roast till it gives of a bot of an aroma and take off the fire. Add in powdered sugar, raisins and chopped nuts.

When it has cooled a little, and you can handle it safely without getting burnt, take a fistful and press into an oblong shape. Your fingers will leave a a ridged imprint pattern.

Store or serve when completely cooled.
