  • 20 – 30 Cashewnut
  • 1/4Cup Raisins( I use it generously as most kids like it )
  • 8 – 10strands Saffronof
Instructions
  1. Take a large aluminium Kadhai / pan
  2. Put ghee and heat it well
  3. Put the gas on slow flame ( This is critical as the roasing of the sooji & besan will be done on low flame)
  4. Add Besan and roast
  5. When Besan is red add sooji ( Alway sift the sooji through a sieve before using )
  6. Roast on slow flame for almost an hour
  7. On another stove , boil water, sugar, green cardamom and add saffron when boiled
  8. Add the syrup to sooji when Roasted ( Be careful as the syrup and sooji are hot and may splutter )
  9. Continuously stir, till the halwa starts leaving the side of the kadhai. Do ot make it too dry as it will thicken when it cools
  10. Mix Kala Chanaa and halwa and eat it …that is how we eat it is as prashaad or serve it as a dessert
