Apple halwa

Apple halwa is the easiest halwa one could make without much strain with simple ingredients. Apple halwa is scrumptious dessert. We all know a famous saying "An apple a day keeps doctor away". Such a nutrition rich fruit is apple. But it is very difficult for me to consume apple as such. So I tried this recipe and used to consume now and then. Apple when  it is roasted in ghee, it gives nice aroma. This apple halwa has its own flavour, so I have not added any additional flavour. Kids love this recipe to the core, make it Diwali special. This recipe got published in August Avalkitchen book.


Preparation time: 10 mins
Cooking time : 45 mins
Serves : 4 no

Ingredients:

Apple - 3 no (grated)
Ghee - 5 tablespoon
Milk - 2 tablespoon
Milk powder - 1/2 cup (150 gm)
Sugar - 1/2 cup (150 gm)
Cashewnut - 10 nos
Cardamom powder - 1 teaspoon (optional)
Kesari powder - 1 teaspoon

Method:

1. Heat 3 tablespoon of ghee in a heavy bottom kadai and add grated apple. Saute well until juice evaporates and apple get nice aroma.
2. Add Sugar and milk powder to kadai and mix well until everything gets mixed up.
3. Mix kesari powder in milk and add it to kadai and mix well. Cook well in medium flame until halwa starts leaving the sides and ghee ooze out.
4. In a separate kadai fry cashewnut in ghee until it turns into golden brown colour. Add fried cashewnut to halwa and mix well. Switch off the flame.

Hot, tasty and yummy halwa is ready to be served.

Tips:

1. Cardamom powder can be added optionally in step 3. But it is better to taste the apple halwa with its original flavour.
2. Instead of milk powder, even unsweetened koya (palkova) can be added.
3. You can also boil apple and smash and fry it in ghee and same steps can be followed from step2. Slightly taste will differ and to feel crunchiness of apple it is better to grate and make halwa.
