Asoka Halwa

Asoka halwa is a very famous sweet in Thanjavur and quite popular one. Here is the simple recipe of making Asoka Halwa.

INGREDIENTS:

Wheat Flour - 1/4 cup
Moong Daal(Paasi Paruppu) - 1/4 cup
Ghee  - 1/2 cup
Sugar - 3/4 cup
Cashews,cardamom, Kesari colour  - As required



METHOD:

    Dry roast moong daal in a tawa for few minutes until u see little colour change  and a nice aroma on them. Dont fry it for two long as the moong daal may get burnt . Then pressure cook it nicely so that it becomes like a paste.

    In a tawa, add half of the ghee mentioned in the ingredients section and add wheat flour to that and roast the wheat flour well, till it turns to golden colour. Again, make sure that you dont burn the flour. Then add cashews. Also, add the cooked moong daal to it and mix well and allow them to cook well. Keep stirring the content continuously, and when u see the mixture doesnt stick the sides of the tawa then it is fully cooked. Add the sugar and kesari colour and mix well. Add the remaining ghee, cardamom and some more cashews to that. Asoka sweet is ready !
