Apple Halwa

Days are moving very fast and I am becoming busy day by day... As I told in my previous post, still not recovered fully from the fever n cough... coz of that, feeling very tired after coming from office... So could not prepare any new dish or post. Even this Apple halwa, I captured, couple of months before, and was in my folder along with some more pictures. So decided to post this. First time I prepared halwa with apple and to my surprise, it was really very tasty and yummy. This recipe, even can be done, by grinding the apple and using the pulp. Since I want some crunchiness, I grated and did it.

Ingredients

• Apple - 3
• Ghee - 4 tsp
• Sweetened Condensed milk - 5 to 6 tsp
• Sugar - 1/2 to 3/4 cup
• Almonds - 1/4 cup + 10
• Saffron - a pinch

Method

• Wash the apple and remove its skin.
• Grate the apple as below.

• In a flat bottomed pan, add the grated apple and saute till all the water content evaporates.

• Now add the condensed milk and mix well.
• Add the sugar and mix till the sugar gets dissolved.

• Add the ghee at this stage.
• Meanwhile grind the 1/2 cup almonds into a powder and crush the remaining 10 almond pieces to be used later.
• Mix it to this apple mixture.

• Check for the correct sweetness. (sugar or condensed milk can be added accordingly)
• Now mix the crushed almond pieces and saffron and mix well.
• When the ghee starts leaving the sides, switch off the stove and allow to cool and serve. 

Note: 

This apple halwa can be made by grinding the apple in mixer and using the pulp. I need to try some other time. Since I like the crunchiness of the apple, I grated and prepared the halwa. If any one have done with pulp, kindly share the outcome of it.
