Habshi Halwa

INGREDIENTS
250 gm samnak (wheat extract)
5 litres milk
500 gm khoya
1 kg sugar
1 kg ghee
1 tsp saffron
1 tsp kewra jal
1 blade mace
1 pinch nutmeg
10 green cardamoms

METHOD

In a kadhai, mix the wheat extract and milk and cook on a slow fire, stirring constantly. This process is important to obtain the right consistency. When the milk is reduced to half, add mashed khoya, stirring constantly to blend to a smooth mixture. Then add dissolved saffron in kewra jal and sugar. Keep stirring.

When the sugar is incorporated into the mixture and it becomes thick and difficult to stir, add ghee from the sides and stir well for about 20-30 minutes. When the halwa no longer sticks to the kadhai and becomes a cohesive mass, turn it out in a greased tray or thali. Finely grind the mace nutmeg and cardamom. Sieve and sprinkle on the halwa. Then mark out diamond shaped pieces and serve when set. This can be stored for even a month in a cool place.

Samnak: Take germinated wheat made from 1 kg wheat. Wash and grind the germinated wheat using some water. Then pass through muslin cloth to obtain the extract.
