I love to relish mango in myriad forms.Hence,I decided to make this halwa. My original plan was Aaam pappad; but I drifted from the plan,as I was apprehensive of the leathery texture of the pappad.But this halwa is quite easy,asI have prepared corn flour halwa with ease .Hence,in the same recipe,I incorporated mango pulp and made soft yummy halwa !!
INGREDIENTS
CORN FLOUR- 1 CUP
WATER FOR MIXING THE FLOUR- 3 CUPS
SUGAR- 3 CUPS
WATER FOR PREPARING SUGAR SYRUP- 2 CUPS
GHEE- 1 CUP
YELLOW FOOD COLOR- 1/4 TSP
PROCEDURE
1.Mix 1 cup of corn flour in 3 cups of water,yellow food colour and set it aside.
2. Wash,wipe and scoop out the pulp from mango and blend it in a mixer jar to smooth puree without using water.
3. Dissolve 3 cups of sugar in 2 cups of water and heat the pan. Keep stirring, till the syrup reaches sticky consistency and switch off.
4. Now add in the corn flour mixture to the sugar syrup and heat the stove.Also add in the Mango puree.
5. Keep stirring the mixture till it thickens. You can notice the colour change and gloss as well.Now add 1.2 cup of ghee and blend in medium flame.
6. At one stage, the mixture becomes even more thicker and it leaves the sides of the pan. Now add the remaining ghee and stir in mild heat.
7. To check the right consistency,drop a small portion of the halwa from the pan and roll it. If you are able to roll it into a ball,then it is the right consistency and you have to put off the heat..If the halwa disintergrates,then you need to stir further.
8.Grease stainless steel or any container with ghee and pour the halwa over it. Allow it rest for thirty minutes.
9. On cooling, cut the halwa with knife.You can even garnish the halwa with chopped nuts. I always love plain mango halwa.
