Ingredients:
1/2 cup Corn Flour
Almost 1 cup
Granulated Sugar
Saffron - a pinch (optional if using
the artificial color)
6 to 7 pods Elachi
(Take out the seeds
and grind to a coarse powder)
Orange Red Color (Optional ) - a pinch
Pistachio nuts chopped - a handful
(Any kind of chopped nuts is fine)
Ghee - 3 tablespoons
Water - 4 cups
Method:
Take Corn Flour in a Microwave safe bowl. Preferably a little big. I used the corning ware big size.
Pour 2 Cups of Water. Whisk well until there are no lumps.
Mix in the sugar and whisk until even distribution.
Add the Saffron.
Microwave on High for 2 minutes. Stir and again Microwave on High for 2 minutes. Repeat this until the conflour's raw smell goes. If you think the content is thickening too quickly, add little water and stir until even distribution and again Microwave for 1 or 2 minutes, or until the content becomes a little semi solid and the Corn Flour raw smell disappears completely.
Grease a dish with Ghee and add the remaining Ghee, Ground Elachi and the chopped nuts to the content and stir until even distribution. Cook again for a minute or two in microwave. The consistency will resemble a jelly, somewhat semi solid, trying to set.
Immediately pour the content in the greased dish.
Allow it to cool completely. Topple the halwa in a plate. Slice and Serve.
