This halwa is so simple, just few ingredients thrown together in a thick bottom kadai. Thats is..The one thing which you have to do is keep on mixing till it gets thick. It wont take long, just 15 mins is good to make a batch of these.

Preparation Time : 2 mins

Cooking Time : 15 to 20 mins

Makes : 16 pieces

Ingredients:

Custard Powder – 1 cup ( I used vanilla flavoured)

Sugar – 3 cups

Water – 4 cup

Cashewnuts – 15 chopped finely

Ghee – 3 tblspn

Method:

Take a heavy bottom pan, add in custard powder, sugar and water, Mix well so now lumps are formed..

Now put this on high heat and keep whisking till it is thick, glossy and jelly like.

Now use a spoon to mix and put the heat on medium heat.

Add a tblspn of ghee and keep mixing..

After 3 mins add another tblspn of ghee and mix well.

Now it will get thick and non sticky. Add in another tblspn of ghee and keep cooking.

At one stage the halwa will leave the sides of the pan. at that point add in cashews and mix well.

The halwa will look non sticky, it will leave the pan, it will be thick and glossy, and the ghee will ooze from the sides of the pan.

At this point pour this into a greased pan and set it in fridge for 1 to 2 hours.

Once it is set, invert it to a cutting board and cut it into slices.

Serve.
