Milk Halwa Recipe


One of my most favorite sweet in my chilhood days is Milk halwa. My dad used to buy milk halwa once in two weeks but nowadays it's impossible to get the same taste like those olden days. So, thought of giving it a try for this diwali and it came out very well. This recipe need only 4 ingredients but it take atleast 3 to 4 hours to prepare milk halwa. you need lots and lots of patience to prepare this,but the taste is worth the time. Let see how to prepare milk halwa.

Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 4 hours
Total time: 4 hours and 5  mins
Ingredients:
Full fat milk - 1 litre
Sugar - 1/2 cup
Ghee - 2 tbsp
Lemon juice - 5 drops

Method:
1.In a heavy bottomed vessel, bring the milk to boil. Reduce the flame to low and keep stirring every 10 minutes till it becomes thick. This will take atleast 1 hour.
2. Once it becomes thick, add 5 drops of lemon juice and sugar, keep stirring for 20 to 25 minutes.
3. Now you get a grainy texture in the milk and again cook in low flame  for atleast 1 to 2 hours. Now the milk becomes very thick and at this point you can add ghee.
4. Scrap out the edges and now milk halwa is ready.
