THIRUNELVELI HALWA

                                          
                   
Ingredients:

  •  Quality wheat — 200 gm.
  • 
 Sugar — 300gm.
  •  
Ghee — 200gm.
  • 
 Cardamom powder — 1 tsp
  •   Cashewnut pieces — 1 tbsp
Method: 
  • Wash and soak the wheat for four to five hours. 
  • Grind the wheat well in a grmixer by adding water frequently.
  • The soaked water need not be wasted and used for this purpose.
  • Now squeeze the milk from the ground wheat (as you do for coconut). 
  • You will find initially the wheat milk will be thick and becomes thinner for the second  time. 
  • Use a sieve to filter out the clean milk and store in a vessel for 10 minutes.
  • Now you will notice that the watery portion of the milk is on top.
  • Take out the thin milk and pour the thick one in a heavy-bottomed pan and boil. 
  • Once it thickens add sugar and keep mixing for 15 minutes.
  • Sugar melts and again the whole mixture thickens.
  • Now add in the ghee little by little and keep mixing again for 10 minutes.
  • Once the halwa starts leaving the sides of the pan.
  •   Then ready to eat.
