1. How to make Cups- for this please click here. I have made a separate elaborate post on how to make these cups.
2. How to make Filling
Recipe for the Filling-
INGREDIENTS:
Mawa/ khoya- 200 grams
Dessicated Coconut- 4 tablespoon
Castor Sugar- 1/2 cup
Almonds- 10-12 chopped
Cashew- 10-12 chopped
Pistachios- 10-12 chopped
Chironji- 2 tablespoon
Green Cardamom- 6-7 (Only seeds, crushed)
Saffron strands- 1 teaspoon
Thandai powder- 2 tablespoon
Ghee/ Clarified butter- 1 teaspoon
Milk- as needed (optional) Dried Rose petals and Silver Varq- To Garnish
DIRECTIONS:
We will start by crumbling the Mawa.
Heat a non stick or heavy bottom pan. Put crumbled mawa in the pan. Keep the heat on low.
Keep stirring the mawa. It will start melting.
Cook the khoya properly until it releases fat and becomes bit brown.
It will take about 10 minutes to roast the mawa.
Take it out in a bowl and let it come to room temperature.
Meanwhile, in a pan add ghee and roast all the nuts, crushed Cardamom seeds, saffron and coconut.
You just have to roast them for 3-4 minutes.
Mix the roasted nuts in the roasted mawa.
When the mixture comes to room temperature add in the sugar and mix everything well.
(If you will add sugar in the hot mix, it will start melting)
If you feel that the stuffing is dry then add few teaspoons of warm milk.
(1 or 2 tablespoon will be enough)
Stuffing or filling is ready.
HOW TO ASSEMBLE
Take a prepared Phyllo cup. Scoop in about 2 tablespoon of filling in the cup.
Garnish with Dried Rose Petals and Silver Varq.
