How to Make Red Jowar Halwa: A Healthy Twist on Traditional Sweet Treats
Ingredients
- 1 cup Red Jowar
- 1/2 cup Jaggery Powder
- 2 tbsp Milk Powder
- 2 tbsp Ghee
- Nuts (cashews, almonds, or walnuts)
- 2 cups Water
Steps to Prepare Red Jowar Halwa
- Grind 1 cup of red jowar (whole grains) into a fine powder using a blender or food processor. The texture should be smooth and fine, similar to flour.
- In a bowl, mix the ground red jowar powder, 1/2 cup of jaggery powder, and 2 tbsp of milk powder together. Set aside.
- Boil 2 cups of water in a pan or pot over medium heat.
- Once the water comes to a boil, add the ground red jowar powder to the boiling water.
- Stir well to ensure the powder mixes smoothly with the water, without forming lumps.
- As the jowar mixture begins to thicken, add 2 tbsp of ghee into the pan.
- Stir well to incorporate the ghee and create a smooth, creamy mixture.
- Add the jaggery and milk powder mixture into the pan, and continue stirring.
- Keep cooking until the halwa thickens to a halwa-like consistency, ensuring it is not too runny but holds its shape when spooned out.
- Once the consistency is perfect, drizzle a little extra ghee on top for a rich texture.
- Grease a plate with a little ghee.
- Transfer the halwa onto the greased plate and spread it evenly.
- Let the halwa cool slightly, then cut it into pieces of your desired size.
- Top the halwa with your choice of nuts (such as cashews, almonds, or walnuts) for added crunch and flavor.
