As I had made fried modaks, and apple cobbler, I didn't have the strength to make mango halwa, as I also made carrot halwa, which is also my son's favourite. 2 days after they left back to UK, I pureed the mango along with sugar in the mixer jar, about 1 big cup of puree, I put in the heavy pan along with roughly with flour. Shall give the ingredients below-
INGREDIENTS
mango puree 1 big cup
sugar 1/2- 3/4 cup depending on the sweetness of the mango and as per your taste
milk 300 ml
all purpose flour/ maida 1 heaped tbsp
jack-fruit flour 1 tbsp ( optional, I added as it is supposed to reduce the GI for diabetics)
ghee ( clarified butter) 11/2 tbsp
nuts 1 tbsp chopped
METHOD
in a heavy pan, I added the mango puree, maida, jack fruit flour, milk and about 1 tbsp of sugar, mixed well.
I kept it in very low flame after mixing it all well. Kept stirring in the beginning every 5 minutes, once it started to thicken, every 2-3 minutes, added the chopped nuts at the stage.
Once it was almost thick, added 1/2 the amount of ghee, mixed well, continue cooking, stirring well from the sides, or else the sides will get dry soon and then you'll get less halwa.
Spread it on the greased plate and went for lunch. Before I'ld return after playing games with my friends, hubby managed to finish one corner full, said it was very tasty !
So, it is for the 2022, with hope and prayers that the pandemic should leave this planet soon and everyone survives with good health, happiness and above all, we need peace on this planet now.
I added little ghee on the plate to grease it well, and the rest of the
ghee I added and kept stirring till it was quite thick, spread on the
plate, sorry couldn't spread properly, as I was called for some work.
Wishing All A Very, Very Happy, Healthy, Prosperous And Peaceful year ahead. May All Your Dreams come True.🙏😷😀
