The Duo Prepares an Orange & Pistachio Mawa Tart Shaped like a Kachori - Here's the Recipe for You to Try at Home
Ingredients:
For the Tart Shells
1½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup powdered sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
1-2 tablespoons cold water
For the Filling
1 cup mawa (khoya), crumbled
¼ cup powdered sugar
Zest of 1 orange
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons chopped pistachios
1 teaspoon cardamom powder
Method:
Prepare the Tart Shells
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and powdered sugar. Add the chilled butter cubes and rub them into the flour mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually add cold water, a little at a time, and knead the mixture until it forms a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles of dough.
Press each circle of dough into the tart moulds, trimming any excess dough from the edges. Prick the bottom of each tart shell with a fork and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow the tart shells to cool completely.
Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled mawa, powdered sugar, orange zest, orange juice, chopped pistachios, and cardamom powder. Mix until well combined and the mixture holds together. Spoon the filling into the cooled tart shells, spreading it evenly. Garnish with additional chopped pistachios and orange zest, if desired. Serve the Orange & Pistachio Mawa Tarts chilled or at room temperature.
