<\/p>\nHalwasan is a traditional sweet (mithai) that is considered unique to the city of Khambhat, or Cambay as it was previously known, in the Indian state of Gujarat.<\/p>\n
Though the advent of various factory produced mithai using dry fruits have pushed such traditional and healthy mithai to the margins, Halwasan continues to be a popular sweet, especially on special occasions. Made from broken wheat, edible gum, and dried whole milk (mawa or khoya as it is known in India), Halwasan is an extremely nutritious sweet, while the nutmeg powder lends it a very warm and earthy flavor.<\/p>\n
Total time : 45 minutes
\nServing: 500gm<\/p>\n
Ingredients:<\/p>\n
1 liter milk
\n3 tsp yogurt
\n2 tbsp edible gum powder
\n4 tbsp bulgur (finely broken wheat)
\n300g sugar
\n3\/4 tsp nutmeg powder
\nAlmond
\nSaffron<\/p>\n
Instructions:<\/p>\n
Place milk in a pan and when it begins to boil add the yogurt<\/p>\n
If milk does not separate add more yogurt as required. Remove from flame
\nAdd a tablespoon of ghee (clarified butter) to a pan and fry the edible gum
\nWhen gum begins to fluff up add in the milk slowly while stirring constantly<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, place 2 tablespoons of ghee in another pan and add the bulgur
\nRoast until golden brown
\nAdd the roasted bulgur to the milk and keep stirring
\nAdd half the sugar to the milk mixture and continue stirring<\/p>\n
In another pan, roast the remaining sugar over low heat until it turns to brown liquid (caramelized)
\nAdd the caramelized sugar to the milk mixture
