Besan Halwa

Step 1

In a large heavy bottomed pan or skillet, heat the ghee or butter.

Step 2

Add the besan, and roast on low heat until the besan starts turning golden brown and releases a nutty aroma, around 5-7 minutes. The besan will be gently bubbling, and still in a liquid state.

Step 3

Add the milk slowly, while continuously stirring the besan so that no lumps form. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the moisture evaporates and the halwa starts holding its shape.

Step 4

Now add the sugar and cardamom powder, and stir to combine.

Step 5

Keep stirring on low heat, until the halwa starts to form a ball and is no longer sticking to the sides of the pot.

Step 6

Transfer to a serving dish, and top with the nuts.
