This week has been about derani/jethani (sisters in law) bonding and reviving memories. Manjubhabhi my Jethani is in Charleston and is a keen cook so we thought we’d do a guest cook along and make ice halwa her style. Its been all about having fun, khai pi ne maja….
Watch the videos and see how one of my oldest mentors and buddy makes the halwa…
1/2 cup white flour
1/2 cup ghee melted
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 cup sugar
In a heavy bottomed pan, mix flour,ghee , sugar and water. Stir well until well combined. Turn the heat on and cook on high heat until it starts to boil stirring continuously. Turn the heat on medium and keep stirring for about 20 minutes .It will get thicker and will start living the sides of the pot and forms like a soft dough. Pour the mixture on the parchment paper and spread little with spatula .cover with another piece of parchment paper. Start rolling immediately .Once almost rolled out remove the top paper and sprinkle crushed cardamom and almond slivers. cover with parchment paper and roll again. Remove the top paper , cut in to squares Let it dry for about 8 to 10 hours and flip them upside down for about 8 hours or completely dried. Put the parchment paper between each slice and store in an air tight container. Enjoy Bombay halwa
