Microwave Corn Flour halwa

Tweet

I bookmarked this recipe from Raks Kitchen long back.This is a very easy sweet to prepare in Microwave and delicious as well.Also it consumes very less amount of ghee compared to stove top version.

Ingredients

Corn Flour	1/2 cup
Sugar	1.5 cups
Water	2 cups
Ghee	3 tsp
Cardamom	2 or 3 pods
Food color	a pinch
Broken Cashew	1 tablespoon

Procedure:
Step1:
Mix corn flour, sugar,food color and water together without lumps.

Step2:
Microwave on high for 6 minutes with the bowl open
Stir it once in between

Step3:
Take the bowl out and mix well and microwave in high for another 6 minutes
Stir the mixture for every 2 minutes.
The final mixture should be glossy and look like a jelly

Step4:
Fry the cashews in ghee and add it to the mixture


Step5:
Pour this in a greased plate and allow it to cool

Step6:
After 30 minutes cut it into desired shapes


Notes:

1. Every microwave is different.Mine took around 8 minutes in step 3.The consistency that we need to look for is, the mixture should turn very shiny and glossy and also resembles jelly
2. Do not reduce the amount of sugar.You may not get the same texture
3. I used a 7"X7" baking pan to pour the halwa
4. Do not refrigerate this halwa.It stays good for 3 days (may be even more. I have not tried)
