Milk Rava Halwa, the name may have been christened by me.But this sweet was introduced by our relative, a highly adorable lady and the spouse of a leading Cardiologist in Chennai.She is an expert in preparing this Halwa in those days,when it was common to have guests and visitors without prior intimation.
During such an occasion,two decades back,it was my privilege to taste that delicious sweet during a visit to their house.It is a kind of Rava Kesari in which milk is added for the Rava to get cooked instead of water.The milk enriches the dessert.
As milk is added, it is better to consume it within a few hours or to refrigerate and take the next day.
Ingredients :
Rava 1/2 cup
Sugar 1 cup
Milk 1.5 cup
Ghee 4 tbsp.
Cashew, Raisins, Cardamom Powder.
Method :
1. Heat 2 tsp. of Ghee, roast the nuts and keep aside.
2. Heat 2 tsp. of Ghee in the same thick bottomed Kadai and roast the Rava.
till it starts changing colour, giving an aroma.Set aside.
3. Boil the milk, if there is less milk, half cup of water and 1 cup of milk can be
boiled.To the boiling milk, slowly add the roasted Rava, stirring with one
hand, constantly.A few lumps may form. Crush them with the ladle.
4. No colouring is required as it may look like Kesari.Slowly add the Ghee.The
flame can be reduced.When the sweet leaves the sides of the vessel, add the
Cardamom Powder and roasted nuts. Mix well and switch off. The rich and
tasty dessert is ready.
