A Europeanized take on a classic Indian mithai. You don't need an oven to make these, but you do need khoya or mawa (solidified whole milk) which you can purchase at Indian grocery stores or <a href="http://www.ruchiskitchen.com/how-to-make-mawa-from-ricotta-cheese/">make your own</a>, by cooking down ricotta cheese. The mithai (an umbrella term for Indian sweets) is soft, rich, and bright, perfect to give in a box as a gift, or for welcoming guests into your home (the way mithai is used on many occasions in India, namely Diwali). <br /> <br />This recipe comes from Michelin-starred pastry chef Surbhi Sahni. She helps The Tiffin Project, a charity that trains low-income South Asian immigrant women for careers in the culinary industry in New York City.
