CORNFLOUR HALWA

Hey all ! Starting this week with a sweet note :-) 

This is a very easy halwa recipe my sis taught me..

This halwa is made using microwave.. Yes no need

to stand in front of  the stove & stir for years :-)

Also this sweet can be made with some simple

ingredients from our pantry with very very
less ghee or butter..Awesome right :-)

Lets do it !!!!

 

CORNFLOUR HALWA RECIPE:

Recipe cuisine: Indian / Recipe category: Dessert

 Prep time: 35 mins / cook time: 14 mins

INGREDIENTS:

Corn startch (white) : 1/2 cup

Sugar : 1 & 1/2 Cups

Water : 2 cups

Elaichi / cardamom powder : 2 pinch
Cashews (chopped) : 1 tblsp

Food colour (orange) : a pinch
Ghee / butter : As needed

METHOD:

Mix sugar/corn starch/water & food colour

in a microwave bowl without any lumps.

Microwave in high for 4 mins, give a stir & 

microwave in high for 2 mins

Again Microwave in high for 8 mins,

stirring in between every 2 mins. It will

have a glossy appearance & the texture 
will be jelly  like.

Mix chopped cashew & elachi powder  with

1/2 tsp of ghee. Microwave it for 2 mins,

stirring every 30 secs till cashews turn 

golden brown. Add the cashew mixture to the
 cornflour mixture that we microwaved for
 14 mins.Mix well.

Grease a tray with ghee & pour the mixture.

Spread the mixture evenly & cover it with a 
parchment paper greased with ghee.

After 30 mins flip the tray upside down, the
halwa will fall down like a cake. Cut it into
desired shapes.

Enjoy mouthwatering halwa :-)

Note:
* Microwave time depends on the power of
microwave. So once you get glossy look &
the mixture thickens like jelly do not microwave 
it. If not halwa will become very chewy.
* Instead of cashews, pista or almonds can be used.
* Please do not change the ratio of sugar or corn 
starch.
