prep: 30 minutes
cook: 15 minutes
cuisine: pakistani, lahori
course: breakfast, dessert
serves: 2-3
ingredients
1/2 cup semolina
2 cups milk
2/3 cup sugar, to taste
2-3 tablespoons condensed milk
1 cup powdered milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
2-3 tablespoons ghee
1 green cardamom
2-3 drops saffron food color, optional
6-7 saffron strands, for garnish
directions
Soak semolina in milk with saffron strands/saffron food color for 30 to 45 minutes.
Melt sugar in a pan, preferably stainless steel, with cardamom and ghee over a low flame. When the sugar turns into a light caramel shade, carefully stir in the soaked semolina-milk mix, vanilla essence, condensed milk, and powdered milk.
Stir continuously with a wooden spatula; halwa will thicken and stick to the sides of the pan in 3-5 minutes. Use your spatula to scrape it off and keep stirring for 7-10 minutes or until the halwa leaves the sides. The scrapes add crunch and texture to the creamy halwa. Set out in a stainless steel plate and shape it using the spatula.
Garnish with saffron; serve warm.
