Bombay Karachi Halva

     Though the history of this recipe is not known to me much as the name is rather a confusing one, but I am sure there is no confusion regarding the taste. Taste is always best and is loved by many..

Ingredients:

Corn flour - 1 cup

Water - 3 cups

Sugar - 2 cups

Lemon juice - 1 tsp

Cashew chopped - 1 cup

Food colour - 1/4 tsp

Ghee - 4 tbsp

Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp

Method:

Take a large bowl and put corn flour in it. Add 2 1/2 cups of water to it and mix well without forming lumps. 

Heat a non stick pan and add rest of water and sugar to it. Mix well. Once the sugar is dissolved and starts to boil, add this corn flour mix to it. Mix well and cook  on low flame. Keep stirring. The mixture forms a lump within few minutes. Add 2 tbsp ghee to it. Also add lemon juice and mix. 

After another minute, add the rest of the ghee and mix well.Add half of the chopped cashews, cardamom powder and food colour and mix well. Keep stirring until the mix becomes single lump and starts to leave ghee from sides. 

Grease a pan with little ghee and pour in the mixture. Decorate it with the rest of the cashew pieces. Allow it to set for an hour. Later cut it with knife into pieces and serve.

Note:

The longer you cook, the more the mixture becomes chewy, so adjust accordingly.

Enjoy Cooking :)
