Microwave corn flour halwa

















Ingredients:

1/2 cup - corn flour
1 & 1/2 cups - sugar
2 cups - water
Ealchi powder, a pinch
5 - cashew nuts
2-3 tsp - ghee
1/2 pinch - food colour

Method
  1. Mix corn flour, sugar, water and food colour in a large microwavable bowl, without any lumps.
  2. Microwave in high for 6 minutes.
  3. After 4 minutes in between, mix once.
  4. Again microwave for 6 minutes, stirring in between after every 2 minutes of interval.
  5. Fry cashews in ghee till golden brown and mix well.
  6. Grease a plate with ghee and pour in the plate and let it cool down for 1/2 hour or so.
  7. Cut into pieces and enjoy!
  8. It has a texture just like jelly, but sure sweeter than that.
  9. Do try and you will agree that this is the easiest halwa you have ever made!
Note: Stirring in between as mentioned is very important to ensure even cooking. Do not reduce the sugar amount,as it will change the glossy look too and end up as porridge. The whole process is made in microwave high power.
