MICROWAVE CORN FLOUR HALWA| EASY DIWALI SWEET RECIPES

Corn-flour-halwa_1
            This is a easy to make microwave corn flour halwa, you can make within 20 minutes. If you have un-expected guests and you want to make some sweet, you can make it so soon without sweat. This is my MIL’s trade mark sweet. She learnt it through a TV show. She makes and serves this proudly as it is made out of Microwave. And every body without fail will ask for the recipe and totally get impressed too.It uses very less ghee unlike other halwa recipe.  I could not click that well to show the delicious halwa. But the recipe and the taste is the main right.. so I think you all can adjust with it…
And Before going to the recipe, I want to say a very important thing…
HappyWISHING YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS DIWALI Party!!

2-corn-flour-halwa

INGREDIENTS

Corn flour 1/2 cup
Sugar 1 & 1/2 cups
Water 2 cups
Ealchi powder A pinch
Cashews 5 nos.
Ghee 2 –3  tsp
Food colour 1/2 pinch

 

Method

  1. Mix corn flour,sugar,water and food colour in a large microwavable bowl, without any lumps. ch1
  2. Microwave in high for 6 minutes. After 4 minutes in between, mix once. Again microwave for 6 minutes, stirring in between after every 2 minutes of interval. ch2
  3. Fry cashews in ghee till golden brown and mix well. Grease a plate with ghee and pour in the plate and let it cool down for 1/2 hour or so. Cut into pieces and enjoy! ch3
    It has a texture just like jelly, but sure sweeter than that. Do try and you will agree that this is the easiest halwa you have ever made!

Celebrate a safe Diwali and see you all after the festival!
Notes
  • Stirring in between as mentioned is very important to ensure even cooking.
  • Do not reduce the sugar amount,as it will change the glossy look too and end up in porridge ;)
  • The whole process is made in microwave high power.
  • According to oven the cooking time varies plus or minus 2-3 minutes.
  • Consume within one or two days. Refrigeration changes the texture so it is not recommended.
  • There is a easy way to remember the recipe. 1 part corn flour,3 parts sugar,4 parts water. i.e; which ever cup u use, use the same cup and follow the ratio. Simple.

Just tried the recipe.I did with 1/4 cup proportion.Turned out tasty and really good.Very easy and quick recipe.
A question-Do we increase the timings if we increase the proportion? and how do we know it is done to pour on the tray?
Thank you for sharing.
Happy Diwali.

This is my favourite sweet. I have made it in the past and got it right. These days I have not been able to make it basically because I am lazy:)! Love to try this one. Need one clarification though Microwave in high for 6 minutes. After 4 minutes in between, mix once. Again microwave for 6 minutes, stirring in between after every 2 . Do I have to micro for 6 mins first and then stir or stir after 4 mins and keep again for 2 mins.

Archana said...
