For a more intense flavor, infuse the milk with cardamom by gently simmering the milk with the crushed pods for 10 minutes before adding the other ingredients. Ghee provides a richer, nuttier flavor compared to shortening, but shortening can be used as a suitable substitute. Be patient and maintain a low heat throughout the cooking process to prevent burning and ensure even cooking. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can strain the mixture before serving to remove any small lumps.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
Gently crush the green cardamom pods using the flat side of a knife to release their aromatic oils. (2 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the crushed cardamom, milk, lightly beaten eggs, sugar, ghee (or shortening), semolina, and dry milk powder. (5 minutes)
03
Step
3 mins
Whisk all the ingredients together thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, homogenous mixture. (3 minutes)
04
Step
10 mins
Place the saucepan over low heat and begin to cook, stirring occasionally at first to prevent sticking. As the mixture heats, the eggs will begin to thicken. (10 minutes)
05
Step
1 hrs
Once the mixture begins to thicken, increase the stirring frequency to constant, ensuring that the halwa doesn't stick or burn. Continue cooking until the mixture transforms into a rich, golden brown hue, and the ghee (or shortening) begins to separate from the solids. This process typically takes around one hour. (60 minutes)

Step
2 mins
