Sweet diamond cuts/Sweet tukdi

After Spicy tukdi,Shevo, Salted Tukdi,Cornflakes Mixture and many other Namkeens, today it is sweet tukdi prepared on my sons demand.I often prepare sweet biscuit tukdi but today I thought of trying a new recipe.This morning I saw the post on Sharmis passions and I thought it was the right recipe to try as it seemed very easy and the measurement was very pleasing.And the  tukdi's came very crisp and tasty.This recipe is definitely a keeper.
