Back again from Hibernation ! Mainly due to my son's persuasion; he is really much concerned that my access to the computer may get into a state of oblivion as I have got relieved from my profession and with the mobile in the palms,all errands are executed.Real thanks to him.
Only after trying this Halwa for Saraswathi Pooja, could I find out that it is one of the easy and quick desserts, yet a very tasty one! Honestly speaking, compelled to try this sweet as my better half got a big pack of corn flour, when requested to buy a little for soup.
Ingredients :
Corn Flour 0.5 cup
Sugar 1 cup
Ghee 5 tbsp
Cardamom powder, Nuts, Yellow or Red Colour, lime juice
Method :
1. Mix 1 cup of water with the corn flour using a whisker without any lumps.
2. Add 2 cups of water to sugar and boil it on medium flame, stirring in
between till a single string consistency is reached.
3. Add a tsp. of lime juice to the sugar syrup to avoid crystallization; add the food colour. I added only Turmeric Powder as I always avoid chemicals.No need to panic about the Turmeric. I can vouch that the aroma of the Turmeric powder is completely lost.
4. Keep on stirring on medium flame. The mixture becomes translucent and also starts thickening. Add the Ghee slowly. When the mixture starts leaving the sides of the vessel, preferably, a non stick or a thick bottomed Kadai, add cardamom powder and the chopped nuts. Transfer to a greased tray and cut into desired shapes.
