Method for making Dry Fruit Halwa

1. Heat ghee in a kadai and add the dry fruits and fry for a second. I had taken a mixture of walnuts, cashews, almonds, pistas, dates and cherries. Dates, figs and cherries need not be fried but they have to be chopped finely. Keep this mixture aside. You can either chop or soak this in milk or warm water and grind.

2. Next step take a heavy bottomed vessel or a kadai add 1 ½ cups of water and when the water starts boiling add the sugar and boil this mixture for 2 minutes. There is no desired consistency for this and the only thing is that the sugar must have dissolved well.

3. Next dissolve the corn flour in 2 cups of water and then add this to the above mixture and stir continuously till it becomes glossy.

4. Now add the dry fruit mixture along with powdered cardamom.

5. Continue stirring until the dry fruits gets blended well with the corn flour. Add little ghee and switch of the flame when the halwa leaves the sides of the pan.

6. Pour this mixture in a greased tray and allow it to settle.

7.Invert and tap into a serving plate and cut into small  pieces with sharp knife.

Now the yummy Dry Fruit Halwa is ready to be served.
