Description:
Indulge in the creamy goodness of Custard Halwa, a delightful dessert that combines the richness of custard with the sweetness of sugar and the crunchiness of cashew nuts. This easy recipe is perfect for those craving a quick and satisfying sweet treat.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups milk
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/3 cup cashew nuts
- Custard powder (quantity not specified)
Instructions:
-
Prepare Custard Mixture:
- In a bowl, mix custard powder with half a cup of cold milk until well combined. Ensure the milk is boiled and cooled before mixing.
-
Heat Milk and Sugar:
- In a heavy-bottomed vessel, heat the remaining milk along with sugar over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar melts completely and the milk comes to a boil.
-
Add Custard Mixture:
- Once the milk starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and gradually pour in the dissolved custard mixture, stirring constantly to prevent any lumps from forming.
-
Cook Until Transparent:
- Continue to cook the mixture over low heat, stirring frequently, until it becomes slightly transparent and develops a shiny texture. This may take about 20-25 minutes.
-
Add Ghee:
- When the mixture begins to thicken and starts sticking to the sides of the vessel, add ghee (quantity not specified) to enhance the flavor and texture of the halwa. Stir well to incorporate.
-
Achieve Halwa Consistency:
- Keep cooking the halwa until it reaches the desired consistency, resembling a thick pudding-like texture. It should easily come together and form a cohesive mass.
-
Remove from Heat:
- Once the halwa reaches the desired consistency and starts leaving the sides of the vessel, remove it from the heat to prevent overcooking.
-
Garnish and Serve:
- Transfer the prepared Custard Halwa to a serving dish and garnish it with chopped cashew nuts for an added crunch and visual appeal.
