Preparation
Step 1
Soak wheat overnight
Step 2
Grind the soaked wheat in a wet grinder.
Step 3
Squeeze the ground mixture with a filter or a muslin cloth to extract first wheat milk.
Step 4
Allow the first milk (filtrate) to settle so that excess water will separate.
Step 5
Grind the residue to extract second milk in the same way as the first.
Step 6
In a heavy bottomed pan add second wheat milk, sugar and the excess water in first milk and cook in low flame.
Step 7
When it thickens, add remaining thick content of first milk and keep in medium flame with constant stirring till ghee separates.
Step 8
Finally add raw cashews and transfer it to a serving bowl.
Adding ghee little by little throughout the process makes Halwa taste great.
