Milk Halwa


Ingredients

IngredientsQuantity
Whole Milk3 cups
Sugar1/4 cup
Lemon juice1 tsp

Cooking Steps

  • Take milk in a heavy bottomed vessel and bring it to a boil.
  • Keep stirring continuously and reduce milk to 1/3 of its volume.
  • At this stage add about 1 tsp of lemon juice and continue stirring.
  •  After adding lemon juice add sugar and continue to stir for about 15 to 20 minutes.Milk halwa gathers as a mass and if you stir, it will swirl in the pan.Transfer it to bowl (you can even transfer to a plate and cut them into pieces) 

Little words
  • Add cardamom /elaichi powder for flavour.
  • Keep stirring throughout the entire process to get a nice textured halwa(and to avoid burning).
  • Clean the sides of the vessel while you were stirring.
  • Add the lemon juice just enough to curdle ,too much will give a lemon flavour.
  • Add sugar as per your taste.(I used very little and it was good).
  • After cooling I cut them into pieces which were very smooth.
