Dry Fruit Halwa

When you have a husband who always craves for some meetha after a meal, you always are on the lookout for sweets which can be made at home and don’t have too many processed ingredients. This dry fruit halwa is filled with the goodness of nuts and is mildly sweet but it satisfies the sweet tooth. I made it a fortnight ago I think and is long gone…but posting here for my own record.

Ingredients

100 grams each of coarsely ground cashews, walnuts, almonds and pistachios,
¾ of a cup of milk,
300 grams of sugar,
400 grams of khoya,
50 grams of raisins,
1 cup of ghee,
1 teaspoon of powdered green cardamom seeds

Method

Heat the ghee and fry the khoya stirring all the time till it turns a light brown. Keep aside. Boil the milk and add the sugar. Stir till the sugar dissolves.

Remove from heat and mix well with the khoya. Add the dry fruits, raisins and cardamom powder. Mix well. Spoon this into a greased plate and smoothen with a flat spoon.

Cut into diamond shaped pieces and serve.
