Ingredients

• 1/2 cup cornflour
• 1 and 1/2 cups + 1 cup water
• 1 and 1/2 cups sugar I use unrefined brown sugar
• 1/4 cup ghee
• 1/2 cup dry fruits and nuts
• 1/4 tsp cardamom powder

Instructions

• To a bowl add corn flour along with 1 and 1/2 cups water whisk it well without any lumps.Set aside.To a heavy bottomed kadai add sugar along with 1 cup water.
• Whisk well and let it boil until sugar completely dissolves.Now add cornflour mixture.Keep flame in low and keep whisking.
• It starts to thicken and change color at this stage switch to spatula.When it starts to thicken more and turn glossy start adding ghee little by little.
• When you start adding ghee, the texture starts to change.Reserve just a tbsp of ghee and add the rest.Once ghee is added fully, add dry fruits and nuts along with cardamom powder.
• Cook until jelly like consistency and the halwa easily slides kadai.At this stage switch off and transfer the halwa to a tray grease with ghee.Level it well with a spatula.Allow it to set for 30 mins.For fastening the process, you can keep in fridge too.Invert over chopping board and cut into squares.
• Enjoy.

Notes

• After pouring cornflour mixture, keep stirring else it will form lumps easily.Even if it starts to form whisk rigorously will get dissolved at this stage.
• For dry fruits and nuts : I used a mixture of cashew,badam,pista,tutti frutti,dates etc.Make sure to chop it fine else while cutting into squares it will difficult.
• If you do not want to cut into squares , you can just scoop and add to bowl and serve.
• You can reduce ghee a bit but do not reduce more as it might give a taste and texture variation.Also will stick in mouth while eating so do not reduce more ghee.
• Just cook sugar syrup until it dissolves , no need to check for any consistency.
  Start adding ghee only after it starts to thicken and turn glossy.
