Ingredients

  • Milk - 2 litres
  • Rava - 3 tbsp
  • Sugar - 1/2 cup + or - as per your taste
  • Ghee - 8 - 10 tbsp
  • Cardamom - 1/5 tsp
  • Saffron - a pinch optional
  • Lemon juice - few drops

Instructions

  • Fry the rava till light brown and keep it aside. Now start boiling the milk.
  • Keep stirring the milk and do this process until the milk comes to 1/3rd of its quantity.
  • Add the fried rava. Stir it. After 5 minutes add the sugar and mix well.
  • Now add the ghee. Then add lemon juice. Keep stirring till the milk comes to a consistency shown in below.
  • Now add the cardamom powder and mix well. Now hold the handle tightly and mix as the milk halwa becomes very thick.
  • At a stage, you may notice the ghee start oozing out from the halwa. This is the correct stage to switch off the stove.
  • Remove the Milk Halwa from the stove and serve hot. You can also store this halwa for 3 to 4 days when refrigerated.

Notes

1. Try to use non stick pan as it would be easy to stir.
2. Always use a thick and flat bottomed pan for making this halwa, so that milk thickens faster.
3. If you like, you can add your favorite nuts as toppings and serve it.
