Nut Chocolate Vadai / Patties

• As mentioned in the previous post I crossed 75 recipes in my blog and I would like to share an exclusive recipe that wold attract all of us especially kids.
• Even though the name indicates patties/vadai it has got nothing to do with frying.Actually it is a "no cook" recipe.It requires only mixing up of the given ingredients and hence a beginners recipe too
• I adapted this recipe from a TV show and made some changes

 

Ingredients

• Marie biscuits - 25 to 30 nos 
• Almonds - 1/2 cup 
• Powdered sugar - 2 tablepoons
• Vanilla essence - 2 teaspoon
• Drinking chocolate -  2 tablespoon
• Milk maid or any condensed milk - 5 tablespoons
• Ghee - 3 tablespoons
• Milk - 2 tablespoons

Method

• Break each and every biscuit into small pieces and run them in a mixer into a fine powder

• Chop the almonds.You may do this using scissors and add it to powdered biscuit

• Add sugar and vanilla essence and mix well with a spoon

• Mix drinking chocolate

• Pour in milk maid and mix well with a spoon

• Add ghee and start kneading with your hand

• Sprinkle milk while kneading the dough

• Make small balls out of the dough (lemon sized).Flatten each and every ball like patties/ vadai and make a hole in the center

• Refrigerate them at least for an hour before serving

Variations

• Can also add any other chopped nuts and fix gems on each and every chocolate
• Take a big portion of the kneaded dough and roll them like rotis and cut into desired shapes using molds

Note

The original recipe contains

• 30 marie biscuits 
• Cocoa is used
• Butter is used instead of ghee
