- 1. Besan – 1 cup
- 2. Boiled milk – 1 ½ cups
- 3. Sugar – ¼ cup
- 4. Ghee – 1/3 cup
- 5. Cardamom powder – ¼ tsp
- 6. Pistachios – 1 tsp (chopped, for garnish)
- * 1 cup = 235 ml
- Heat ghee in a non stick kadai/ pan. To it add besan and roast it in low flame for about 10 to 12 minutes until nice aroma is released. Keep stirring besan every now and then to make sure it does not burn. After 12 minutes you will notice nice aroma from besan and also a mild color change.
- Now keep the boiled milk ready in one hand. Gradually add in small portion and stir the besan mixture well. I used ¼ cup first then gradually increased to ½ cup.
- Now add ½ cup milk to the besan mixture and give it a good stir.
- Now add the remaining boiled milk and stir it really well that it combines with the besan mixture. Cook this mixture for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Now add sugar and cardamom powder to it and mix really well until combined. Finally add ghee and mix it again and put off the flame. Yummy and tasty besan ka halwa is ready!
