Corn Flour halwa (Instant halwa)

I just saw this in a Tv show and Tried it. And it came out very well. Now whenever I want halwa I use 2 do this Instant one which takes only 15 mins. And can make it with favourite flavours.

Ingredients :
 
CORN FLOUR1/4 CUP
SUGAR3/4 CUP
GHEE1-2 TBLSP
WATER1 CUP
CASHEW NUTSFEW
Yellow FOOD COLOUR and Elaichi powder2 PINCHES
Optional- Pineapple essence or anyother essence

Directions :

  • In a pan add a tsp of ghee and fry the chopped cashew  nuts till golden brown and keep it aside.
  • Grease a plate with ghee and keep aside.
  • In a bowl. mix the corn flour with 1/2  cup of water ,elaichi and  food colour without any lumps.
  • In a heavy bottomed pan or non stick pan add sugar and add 1/2 cup of water.
  • Let the sugar gets dissolved , no need to check for string consistency.
  • Simmer the flame and mix the corn flour mixture once nicely with a spoon and add it to the sugar syrup and Pineapple essence.
  • Add 1 tblsp of ghee and stir continuously to avoid forming lumps, this will give a glossy texture and the halwa starts getting transparent.
  • Add the roasted cashew nuts when the mixture becomes thick.
  • Transfer it to the greased plate. Either you can leave it for 2 hours to cool down and cut into pieces or you can serve it in a bowl too. :)
