Ingredients Serving: 4

  1. 1 cup Besan
  2. 1/2 cup Oil and Ghee mixed together
  3. 1 cup Sugar
  4. 1 cup hot Milk
  5. 1 tsp Cardamom powder
  6. 1 tbsp chopped and fried nuts of choice

Instructions

  1. Firstly heat up the milk and keep aside. Now in a non stick pan / kadai add the ghee and oil mix. Once it is warm, add the besan and start frying on medium flame.
  2. Check the consistency if its thick and hard to roast, add in a couple of tablespoons of oil or ghee to it. Just keep in mind that the mix has to be loose or else it will be difficult to roast.
  3. Keep stirring, roasting / frying until you get the subtle aroma of Besan. Roast perfectly for a perfect halwa.
  4. After a while, you will notice the mixture turning slightly little frothy on the top. This is the clear indication that it is roasted to perfection.
  5. Now simmer the flame to low and add the hot milk slowly. Keep stirring, it will splutter a bit so be careful. (If the milk has cooled a bit reheat it. Milk should be hot not warm).
  6. Mix it thoroughly, once mixed, add in the sugar, nuts and cardamom powder. Stir well and cook on medium flame until sugar is melted and well incorporated.
  7. Now leave it for a couple of minutes and later turn off the heat. The delicious and mouth melting Besan ka Halwa is all ready to serve. Make and enjoy.
