Sohan Halwa is a traditional Indian sweet made with maida, milk and dry
fruits. Traditionally it is made in circular rounds.
Ingredients
1/2 kg sugar
1/2 kg cornflour or maida
1/4 kg almonds
100 gm pistachio
50 gm green cardamom
1/2 kg ghee
1 cup milk
2 liters water
1 tsp saffron

Method

Heat 1 liter water, add sugar and boil for 5 minutes.

Add 1 cup milk and boil for 5 minutes.
Strain it through a muslin bag or thin cloth.
Add the remaining water and sugar syrup.
Dissolve 1 tsp saffron in warm water and add.
Dissolve the cornflour in a little water. Add to the cornflour mixture and cook
over low flame.
When cornflour becomes thick, add 1 tbsp ghee.
Continue adding ghee (1/2 kg) slowly during cooking to prevent it from
sticking to the pan.
Stir it well. As ghee separates from the mixture, then it is ready.
Add almonds, pistachio & green cardamoms in it.
Grease a pan or tray with oil.
Spread halwa in it & press with a wooden spoon to flatten it.
Garnish it with almonds, pistachio and cardamoms.
As it cools down, cut it into pieces and serve.
