For Diya

First add orange food colour to the milk.In a large bowl mix lai and suji,start adding milk to it and make a dough.Make small bowls and stuff the filling mixture inside.Make it into the shape of diya carefully so that the mixture does not comes out.Deep fry them in oil in a low flame.Once done soak the extra oil by placing the diyas on tissue paper.Now with the remaining filling mixture make lois for diya as shown in the picture.Arrange the diyas with the loi and pour honey in each of them.Honey actually will give the oil effect look in the diyas and is also the main sweetener for the diya.Remember we have not added any sweetner or sugar in the diya itself.Serve immediately.

Note-Add the honey only when you are about to serve,else it will become soggy.
