Poha Halwa
Poha Halwa is a delicious Indian dessert made from flattened rice (poha), sugar, ghee (clarified butter), and aromatic spices. It's a rich and flavorful sweet treat that can be enjoyed on special occasions or as a festive dessert. Here's a recipe to make Poha Halwa:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup thick poha (flattened rice)
- 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup ghee (clarified butter)
- 1/4 cup mixed nuts (such as almonds, cashews, and pistachios), chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
- A pinch of saffron strands (optional)
- 1 cup water
- A few strands of edible silver foil (varak), for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Rinse the poha in water and drain. Set it aside for about 10 minutes to allow it to soften slightly.
- Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan or skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped nuts to the pan and sauté them until they turn golden brown. Remove the nuts from the pan and set them aside.
- In the same pan, add the soaked poha and roast it in ghee for about 5 minutes until it becomes crispy and lightly golden.
- In a separate saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the boiled water to the roasted poha, stirring gently.
- Cook the poha in water until it absorbs the water and softens. This should take about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Add sugar to the pan and mix well with the poha. Continue cooking and stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens.
- Add cardamom powder and saffron strands (if using). Mix well to incorporate the flavors.
- Cook for a few more minutes until the halwa reaches a desired consistency, where the poha is cooked and the halwa has thickened.
- Remove the pan from heat and garnish the Poha Halwa with the sautéed nuts and edible silver foil (varak), if desired.
Serve the Poha Halwa warm as a delightful dessert. It can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence. The combination of flavors and textures in this sweet treat will surely be a hit.
