    By looking at this you might think that process of making these rolls is complicated but actually it is very easy to make. Step by step pics will help you to when you make it in your kitchen.

    The outer layer is made from khoya and cocoa powder which gives you rich chocolaty flavor. While inside filling is made from khoya and chopped pistachio which give nice pista flavor as well as some texture to the roll.

    Recently I made traditional khoya as well as instant khoya and I shared the recipes with you. Using Instant mawa, I made chocolate peda. And I made choco-pista rolls using traditional homemade mawa.

    Make these choc-pista rolls in your kitchen; I am sure you and your family will love this.

    Step By Step Photo Instructions

    1) Take khoya and sugar in a pan. Turn the heat on medium.

    2) Mix them well.

    3) As it heats up, sugar will start to melt down and it will become runny. Keep cooking and stirring continuously.

    4) Cook it till all the moisture gets evaporated and it starts to leave the sides of the pan. That time turn off the gas heat.

    6) Mix them well.

    7) Shape them while it is warm, do not let the mixture cool completely otherwise it will be hard to give them a shape. Place a piece of parchment paper on the work surface and grease you hands with little ghee (clarified butter). Take cocoa mixture first on the parchment paper. Spread it evenly and make rectangle of 6 x 3 inch. And then take pista-mawa mixture and roll it into 6 inch log.

    8) Then place the pista roll on the cocoa sheet.

    10) Now roll it back and forth with using your hand to seal the joints and to make the roll tight.

    12) Then using the sharp knife cut into pieces.

    13) In between you might need to clean the knife to make clear cuts.
