Recently, we saw the movie ‘Chocolat’ by Lasse Hallstrom at home. The sight of those irresistible, delicious, sinful chocolates in the movie left me with a obsession to eat some myself immediately. I rummaged my fridge for some, but not finding any, as soon as the movie got over I set about making something that contained chocolate. I had some paneer (cottage cheese) and walnuts too and I threw-in these for making some Chocolate Walnut Burfis. I devoured almost half of the ready stuff before taking pictures of it. I prefer to make sweets that are not excessively sweet, so when I’m using sweet condensed milk, I don’t use sugar. But you may add some if you want it sweeter!
