Mukhadi Halwa Recipe (Semolina & All Purpose Flour Halwa)

Step 1: To begin making the Mukhadi Halwa recipe, remove 3 table spoons of semolina from one cup of semolina

Step 2: and replace it with 3 tablespoons of all purpose flour

Step 3: Transfer this mix into a bowl and add milk

Step 4: Whisk them together and set aside while you begin to prep for caramelising the sugar

Step 5: Heat a heavy bottomed pan, add ghee and once it begins to get hot (not smoking), reduce the heat to medium

Step 6: Add sugar and level it in ghee using a spatula

Step 7: After five minutes stir the sugar using a spatula (using spatula helps ensure that the caramel won’t stick to it)

Step 8: Keep stirring once in a while till the sugar starts caramelizing as it melts

Step 9: (The colour of the caramel should not deepen or darken in colour as this will lead to a bitter tasting halwa)Give a quick stir to the flour-semolina batter and slowly add it to the caramelised sugar

Step 10: Now, starts the tricky part

Step 11: Hold the wok or pan firmly using a cloth or holder (to avoid the heat) so that you can work your way with the batter

Step 12: Using ladle (a large heavy spoon/ kalchhul), carefully yet swiftly start mixing the batter into the caramel

Step 13: The batter will seem to turn lumpy but nothing to worry

Step 14: Increase the flame to medium and using the back of the spoon keep smashing the batter, especially the whitish lumps, till the whole batter gets completed assimilated and incorporated with the caramel and the halwa wears a homogeneous look

Step 15: This process will take approximately 3 to 4 minutes

Step 16: You will also notice that the halwa releases the oil as it begins to come together as evenly toned mixture

Step 17: At this point, remove excess oil in a small bowl and again roast the halwa for 3 to 4 minutes

Step 18: Switch off the heat and push the halwa towards the edge of one side of the wok to allow any excess ghee to drain in the centre

Step 19: Once the ghee leaves the halwa, drain it out in the bowl

Step 20: Halwa is now ready to be served!Serve Mukhadi Halwa as a dessert after your weekday meal of Dal Makhani, Aloo Ki Sabzi and Phulka
