Instructions
- First of all blanch the tomatoes in hot boiling water for 15 minutes. Peel off the skin after it cools down and mash them well. Pass them through a strainer to get rid of the seeds.
- In a deep non stick wok, make mawa by reducing the milk on high flame. Keep stirring all the while and scraping from the sides until a solid mass is obtained.
- It doesn't matter if a few seeds remain in. Meanwhile heat butter or ghee in a pan and add the mashed tomatoes, cardamom powder, sugar and the mawa.
- Keep stirring it well and the flame should be on medium high until the ghee starts leaving the sides of the pan and a nice aroma emanates in the kitchen. It should take about 20 to 25 mins.
- Beetroot paste can be added at this point to enhance the looks but it is perfectly alright if you cannot lay your hands upon it. I didn't add it too because of it's non availability here at my place.
- Serve it well garnished with dry fruits of your choice. It tastes awesome when served chilled. However you can serve it warm also.
Notes
The charm of this tasty halwa lies in it’s easy hassle free cooking. It does not take much of your time. Plus it is delicious too. A must try recipe dear friends. Go ahead with it without any fear of spoiling it. Trust me, it is damn easy guys.
