Instructions
-
Prepare the Dry Mix
In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk powder, cocoa powder, grated chocolate, and finely chopped cashew nuts. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed. Set this bowl aside for later use. -
Make the Sugar Syrup
In a saucepan, add the sugar and 2 tablespoons of water. Heat this mixture on medium flame, stirring occasionally, until the sugar completely dissolves and the syrup achieves a stringy consistency. This typically takes about 5β7 minutes. -
Add Ghee to the Syrup
Once the syrup is ready, remove it from the heat and quickly stir in the ghee. Mix thoroughly until the ghee is well incorporated, giving the syrup a glossy texture. -
Combine Syrup with Dry Ingredients
Pour the prepared sugar syrup into the bowl of dry ingredients. Using a spatula or your hands, mix everything together until a sticky, pliable dough forms. -
Shape the Fulzadi (Sparklers)
Pinch off small portions of the dough and roll them into lemon-sized balls. Then, shape each ball into a thin, cylindrical stick resembling sparklers. For an added decorative touch, roll the shaped fulzadi in edible silver balls or colored sugar sprinkles. -
Insert Toothpicks or Skewers
Take toothpicks or barbeque sticks and carefully pierce each chocolate cylinder. This not only adds to the sparkler-like appearance but also makes them easy to hold and serve. -
Serve and Enjoy
Your Chocolaty Fulzadi (Diwali Chocolate Sparklers) is now ready to serve! Arrange them beautifully on a platter and serve alongside traditional Diwali snacks like Mullu Murukku or Omapodi Mixture. These sparklers are also a delightful addition to any festive dessert spread.
Pro Tips
- Syrup Consistency: Ensuring the sugar syrup is stringy is crucial for binding the ingredients properly. Test the consistency by taking a small drop between your fingersβit should form a thread when stretched.
- Shaping: Work quickly while shaping the cylinders, as the mixture tends to firm up as it cools. If it hardens too much, slightly warm it up to soften.
- Decorations: Silver edible balls or sprinkles enhance the appearance and festive charm. You can also coat the fulzadi in crushed nuts or desiccated coconut for a variation.
