mooli ka halwa

Mooli Halwa

Ingredients:

Grated mooli (radish) 1 kg
Milk 2 litre

Mawa 200gms or (Dried milk powder (used for Indian sweets) 200 grams +Cream)
Sugar 2 cups
Ghee 2 tbsp.
Dry fruits (sliced almond and raisin) 1/2 cup

Seeds of 5 cardamoms

Directions:

Heat milk, cardamom seeds and grated mooli in a heavy base kadhai / deep saucepan and bring it to boil. Cook over medium heat until all the milk gets dried up (took me almost 60minutes). You should stir the mixture regularly (no need to stand over the cooker all the time) to prevent any sticking.

 Add sugar and 1/4 cup dry fruits and continuously stir for 5-7 minutes.

 Add ghee and Mawa Stir well and fry on low heat until ghee starts separating.

Decorate with remaining dry fruits and serve hot. (Optional- decorate with silver leaf)

To make mawa at home

Mix Cream and milk powder in a microwave suitable container

Cook in a microwave for 8-10 minutes, taking out and mixing thoroughly for every 2 minutes 

Once cooked let it cool down and use it as Mawa in the recipe

Enjoy and quiz people about the ingredients ….I bet not many would guess humble Molli
