Avil( Flaked rice) Halwa

Ingredients
avil / chiwda, flaked rice  1 small cup
cornflour  2 tbsp
jaggery/ brown sugar/ molasses   1/2 cup
rose syrup 2-3 tbsp ( can be avoided then increase your jaggery or brown sugar more)
nuts and raisins as needed
ghee 2-3 tbsp
water around 300 ml

Method
wash and soak avil in minimum water, so that all the water gets absorbed, mash it well with hand or in a blender
heat a heavy kadai or pan, add 1 tbsp ghee, add the avil, fry well till a nice aroma comes stirring on medium flame
add cornflour mixed in little water, add another 200-250 ml water, mix well, keep stirring till thick
add jaggery, keep stirring till jagery as completely dissolved
add another tbsp of ghee, keep stirring till thick, add rose syrup to taste , mix well, once it thickens, grease a plate and spread on it level it.
sprinkle nuts and raisins fried in little ghee on top, press down, it will set in about 30 minutes, then you can cut and serve.

I was a bit lazy to spread on a plate, as I had just made a vege with brinjal, carrot and potato with spices with minimum oil, then was doing other work, so just gave hubby to taste the halwa and emptied the kadai on to containers. Later, I'ld cut into pieces and give it to my friends to taste, they all liked it, but couldn't guess that it was made with avil, they said with wheat flour and so on.
