Watermelon Halwa
And the Ingredients needed
Watermelon: 500gms (de seeded, and cut into small chunks)
Sugar: 100-200gms (or according to taste)
Milk: 100-150ml (full fat milk)
Ghee: 2 tablespoon
Cardamoms: 2 pcs (or cardamom powder: ½ teaspoon)
Dry fruits: raisins, cashew nuts and almonds
Preparations
Take a non-stick pan or kadai. Heat ghee and ass water melon chunks and cook well in medium heat with lid covered for 10 -15 minutes.
Keep stirring in between
Now the watermelon would have released all its water and the chunks would have turned pale pink.
Now cook again in open (ie without covering lid)
Slightly mash the pieces. Reduce the water to maximum. May be 2-3 tablespoon of water left will be ok.
Now add sugar and milk. And cook for another 10-15 minutes. (add sugar according to your taste)
Now u can see the halwa has turned little thick and gives a good reddish brown colour.
Now add the cardamoms, dry fruits and stir well.
Yummy soft watermelon halwa is ready
One of the best halwa I have ever tasted……
Do try and let me know
(Tips: I think if u need thick halwa like the way u get in bakery …..Then add a spoon of roasted wheat flour mixed with little water and then pour this thick mixture when u add the dry fruits and stir well …. I dint try but I’m sure it will thicken the halwa….)
