Notes
If the mixture is crumbly add a few drops of milk but not too much at once!

Small rava works really well (it's also called chiroti rava/semolina)

Nuts can be optional but they add a lot to the texture

Powdered sugar need not be very smooth like icing sugar hence making your own powdered sugar is essential!
