• Remove a tbsp of mixture in a bowl.
  
• Add cocoa powder to the remaining mixture.
  
• Add extra 1 tbsp of milk to the mixture (As we had some mixture earlier so addition of extra milk will help retaining the moisture).
  
• Now put heat to medium and stir the mixture continuously. The mixture will come together and leave the edges of the pan. Remove from the heat.
  
• Press with the spatula to smoothen any lumps.
  
• Remove the mixture in a plate and let it come to lukewarm.
  
• In the meantime, take almonds in a bowl and add water to it. Microwave for a minute. (If you do not have microwave then add boiling water to the almonds, cover and let it sit for 30 minutes).

• After 15 minutes, drain the water from the almonds with the help of strainer.
  
• Now thinly sliced the almonds . The almonds have got nice bright yellow colour and resembles like flame. (You can use different colour to make different coloured slices of almonds).
  
• Now grease your palm with ghee and take a small pea size ball from the white thickened mixture removed ahead. Roll it into a very thin log. Keep in a plate and similarly make with the remaining mixture.
  
• To shape diya- take a small ping pong ball sized chocolate mixture in your palm. Roll it to smooth.

• Now shape into a circle by pressing the edges as shown.
  
• Pinch one side of the edge to make v shape of a diya.
  
• Place it in a greased plate. Put the bati (white log) in it . The diyas will be soft but will hold shape after some time.
  
• Similarly make with remaining mixture ( I had made a big batch of diya to gift to my friends).
  
• Place the bati in each of the diya and place a sliced almonds facing pointed side upwards to resemble the flame. Let it dry for 1-2 hours.
