Ingredients
  

  • 1.25 cup Curd
  • 1/4 cup semolina/suji
  • 1/4 cup desi ghee
  • 3/4 cup shakkar
  • 1 tbsp Saffron soaked milk
  • Pinch of mace/javitri
  • 1 tsp rose water
  • 5-6 cardamoms crushed seeds only

For garnish

  • Chopped nuts of your choice
  • Rose petals

Instructions
 

  • Firstly make hung curd & for that place a sieve over a big bowl.
  • Take curd which is fresh & shouldn't be sour at all. Pour in the sieve & place the bowl having sieve over it in refrigerator for 2 hours. If you already have hung curd, then skip this process and take 1 cup of hung curd to make this recipe.
  • Take a heavy bottomed pan & add desi ghee in it.
  • When ghee melts, add semolina in it. Keep stirring on low flame.
  • When semolina turns golden brown, remove the pan from heat and let it cool down completely.
  • Add hung curd and shakkar & mix them properly.
  • Again place the pan on low heat and add saffron soaked milk in it. Mix.
  • Keep cooking on low flame until ghee begins to separate from mixture.
  • Add mace and mix.
  • Add cardamoms & rose water and mix.
  • Serve after garnishing.

Notes

  1. We need 1 cup of hung curd that is why 0.25 cup (2 tbsp) of extra curd is taken because when the water will be dripped out of curd, we will left with almost 1 cup of curd.
  2. Bowl having a sieve over it, in which curd is placed, is kept in refrigerator because if curd will remain outside for 2 hours, it may turn sour.
  3. If you have pre-planning of making this halwa well in time, you can begin the process of making hung curd at night and keep the bowl overnight in refrigerator.
