strawberry halwa

Ingredients :

Strawberries: 3 cups freshly chopped

Milk: 3 cups

Sugar: 3 cups

Ghee: 1/2 cup

Strawberry milk: 11/2 cup ( take 1 cup chopped strawberries and add 1/2 cup milk, blend both the ingredients to make strawberry milk.)

Elachi : 6 pods

Elachi pwd: 1/4 tbsp

Raisins: 2 tablespoons

Sugar: 6 tablespoons

Honey: 6 tablespoons

Method:

Blend the freshly chopped strawberries with strawberry milk,6 spoons of sugar, honey, and elachi pwd into a smooth mixture.

In a heavy bottom vessel heat milk and slowly add sugar. Keep stiring the mixture untill it boils. Should take around 20 - 30 minutes. (I heated the milk in microwave added sugar and trasfered it to the stove.)

Keep in on medium heat and add the blended strawberry mixture to the milk. Keep stiring and add the elachi pods to the mixture. Remove the elachi pods after 30 minutes. (This is just to add flavor to the halwa.)

Keep stirring until the mixture gets thickened. Takes about 2 to 3 hours.

Once the mixture gets thick add the 1/2 cup ghee to the mixture and stir well for the ghee to get dissolved.

Add raisins to the halwa, mix well and remove from heat.

Pour the mixture into moulds for easy consuming. I felt difficult to cut the halwa into pieces from the pie pan, but easy to take from the moulds and eat it.

Let the halwa cool.

This strawberry halwa is really good as the halwa we get in sweet shops.

Enjoy.
