Instructions
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare 2 thick large sheets of clean thick polythene for rolling. Ensure they are clean and dry. |
| 2 | Deseed the cardamoms and crush the seeds coarsely. Set aside for later use. |
| 3 | Grease one side of the polythene sheets and set them aside. This will prevent the halwa mixture from sticking. |
| 4 | In a large heavy pan, mix together the semolina, ghee, milk, and sugar. |
| 5 | Place the pan on high flame and stir continuously until the mixture comes to a boil. |
| 6 | Reduce the flame and continue stirring until a very soft lump is formed. This may take some time, so be patient. |
| 7 | Add the rose water to the mixture and top it with 2 tablespoons of ghee. |
| 8 | Remove the pan from the flame and knead the mixture well with a spatula. This step is crucial for the texture of the halwa. |
| 9 | Place the lump between the greased sides of the polythene sheets. |
| 10 | Roll the mixture evenly and as fast as possible. This will help in achieving a uniform thickness. |
| 11 | Remove the top sheet of polythene and sprinkle the toppings evenly over the rolled halwa. This includes slivered pistachios, saffron strands, and crushed cardamom seeds. |
| 12 | Replace the sheet and reroll the halwa quickly until it is very thin. |
| 13 | Cut the halwa into 4″ squares and allow it to cool completely. |
| 14 | Store the halwa in an airtight container, placing pieces of butter paper between layers to prevent sticking. |
| 15 | Note: Ensure that the tempering (kneading) of the halwa is done well, as this brings shine to the final product. |
Enjoy your homemade Ice Halwa! 🍨✨
