This dry fruit halwa is from my mom's kitchen.Halwa with lots of nuts,Amma made this delicious halwa for both of us(me and my hubby).She already prepaired her menu for my vecations before I landed here.When I eat a piece of this halwa and told superb amma she gave a beautiful smile to me and i enjoyed that smile.And this halwa is really so mouth-watering with a special ingredient thats my moms love............
Hope now you all understand where i am yaa I am in India for vecation...
INGREDIENTS:------
Maida (all purpose flour) --- 1 cup
sugar ---- 1 cup (or according to your taste you can increase or decrease the sugar)
Yellow food color --- 2 pinches
Cashew nuts --- 20 broken
Almonds --- 20 chopped
Pista -- 20 chopped(fry all nuts in ghee till light brown color)
Netmeg powder --- 1/4 tea sp
Ghee --- 1 cup
Cardamom powder --- 1 tea sp
METHOD:----
Now add little water to sugar and boil it to make a sticky syrup(add a little water to sugar don't add too much water ).
Shift maida in to a big bowl and add water to make a thin batter like rava dosa batter and add food color to this maida batter and leave a side.Now add maida mixture to the sugar syrup keep stirring well. with in 6-8 min it will get thick.
In the same time heat the ghee, now start adding the ghee to the maida and sugar syrup mixture and keep stirring.
The halwa would absorb all the ghee then again add some more ghee and keep stirring.
Now transfer it in to a greased plate and make it flat with a spoon and let it cool and cut in to pieces.
enjoy your sweet.
enjoy your sweet.
When ever you want to serve remove from the fridge and keep it in the microwave for 5 sec. and serve.
This process will give a fresh taste and texture to halwa.
Hi Rekha read ur interview at EC's blog and now reading ur post. The Halwa looks absolutely yumm.
ReplyDeleteThats a superb halva. I will show this to my mother. She was always looking after the recipe for a halva. Hey! one question. Can we use jaggery instead of sugar. I really want to try this.
ReplyDeleteI will try it with the proportions less than the ones you used to avoid wastage if it does not come upto expectations.
My mom always say, when you prepare less it always tastes better.
