ABOUT GREEN PEAS HALWA / MATAR KA HALWA RECIPE

I always wondered how would a halwa made from a vegetable taste like. Well I made it and it was absolutely delicious like any other halwas we make.

Ingredients Serving: 4

Green peas .... 2 cups.
Sweet mawa ... 1/2 cup
Sugar ............. 1/2 cup
Cardamom powder .. 1/2 tsp
Desi ghee .............. 1/4 cup
Pistachios and almonds ... 1 tbsp each (sliced for garnishing)
Silver warq .. for garnishing.
A piece of dry fruit brittle ... for garnishing.

Instructions

Grind the green peas coarsely in a grinder.
In a pan take desi ghee; and saute the green peas on medium flame until the colour changes and the raw flavour is gone. This may take about 10 - 12 minutes.
Add the cardamom powder and sugar. Keep stirring. The sugar leaves water and saute until it is thicker.
Now crumble the mawa barfi and mix it. If you are using khoya you have to separately saute it with a little ghee until it gives an aroma. Then you mix it into the halwa and cook further.
When the mixture starts leaving sides the halwa is ready.
Garnish it with chopped nuts, silver warq and a small piece of brittle and serve warm or cold.
