Ghee – 1/4 cup
Cardamom

soak it for 3 to4 hours. After soaking time, mash the rava well with hands.

second time.

3. Transfer Soaked rava to blender and blend well and
strain extract milk.
4. The extracted milk has come to be to 3 cups.
5. Then In a heavy bottom pan add ¼ cup water and 1 ¼
cup sugar, cook on medium flame and prepare 1 thread consistency sugar syrup.
6. Once sugar syrup is ready reduce flame to slow and
add extracted milk slowly and keep stirring.
7. Meanwhile in a small pan add 1/4cup of sugar and caramelize it
in low flame. It will crystallize at first and then turns into golden syrup.

stir immediately. Keep stirring to avoid lumps. The mixture will bubble well
and start coming and starts to become thick.

comes together without sticking to pan.

cashews to the halwa and mix well. Cook until halwa becomes glossy and oozes
