Dry Fruits and Nuts Halwa

Ingredients:
Good quality whole wheat 1 kilo
Clean extra white Sugar 2 kilo
Good quality Ghee 2 kilo
Cardamon seeds powder 2-4 spoons
Crystal Clear Water 3-4 litres
Ghee fried splitted cashew nuts
Red/ any dark food color 1/4 spoon(optional)
Powdered saago 1-2 spoons(optional)

Nut of my Choice:

Cashew nuts halved 10-15
Almonds whole 10-15
Saarai Paruppu(not sure what thy call in other languages)
Raisins(brown & golden)
Akhrot/walnuts (optional)
Ghee 1 cup.

Method:

Wash wheat several times in running water or until water runs clear.

Then soak the wheat in crytal clear water for atleast 8-10 hours.(overnight)

Wet gring the wheat, using the soaked water. And filter it for clear ‘wheat milk’.

Place this ‘wheat extract/wheat milk’ in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.

The milk separates….bottom with thick milk and on top with water. Now carefully discard the water.

To this thick milk add sugar and wait till they dissolve. The milk thickens at this time again.(if you want to color it, you can add color to it now)

Bring a large ‘Iron wok’ on stove top. Add few cups of ghee and start adding the ‘wheat milk’ to it. Stir constantly…..cook over low-medium heat.

When the halwa is bubbly and about to consolidate, Pour in the ghee now. Stir in.

One can add cardamaon seeds powder, fried seperately fried nuts and raisins now.

When Halwa consistency is acheived…..it will leave from the wok.

It turns up into glassey/glossy-brown color.

If someone wants to have their ‘Halwa’ still more ‘glossy’ or ‘bead like’ or ‘glass-like’……one can add powdered saago to it.
