This is a riff on the original lonavala fudge, but slightly healthier and faster. In a vitamix, grind walnuts (plus throw in some almonds, cashews and pistachios too) with a bit of sugar until it turns almost into a butter. Remove. Now grind majdool dates (I happened to be using the dry grinder). Add back the nuts, coco powder, milk powder, some ghee, and a splash of vanilla. Grind everything till it all mixes well. Take out in a plate, then microwave in two bursts of 30 seconds, mixing in between. Add more ghee as required, grease hands and make small balls. Cool and store.

Heat some ghee, add musturd seeds, let crackle, add zeera, curry leaves and hing. Add the chaas with grated ginger, haldi, red chilli, chopped cilantro, salt and sugar. Let it come to a boil, add the muthia, cover and cook for 8-10 mins til...
