Microwave Corn Flour Halwa

Second day of the second week of BM # 17, I am serving you a pretty easy halwa, that can be a party pleaser and will help you when you have sudden guests. While I was randomly blog hop, which I do very often, I stumbled upon this post from Raks. I have adapted the recipe from there and did not change any measurements. The end result was fanstastic. I had packed it for my grandmom ( Janaki Paati )in Tirunelveli and heard that she enjoyed every bit of this sweet inspite of being a diabetic patient

Ingredients:

Corn Flour - 1/2 cup
Sugar - 1.5 cups
Water - 2 cups
Cashews - 5 nos
Ghee - as required
Food color - orange ( a pinch )


Method :

Mix all the dry ingredients along with water in a microwave bowl without a lump
Microwave this in high for about 5 minutes.
Mix well after 2.5 minutes and microwave again.
Microwave again for 5 mins with stirring in between at 2.5 mins.
Fry the cashews in ghee and mix well with the halwa mixture
Grease a plate with ghee and pour the halwa mixture into it. 
Let it cool down for 20 mins.
Cut them into small squares and serve them.

I used , 1 and half cups of water. But I do adjust it when the mixture is a little too soggy or running

sugar in all my sweets will be on the higher end, as people at my house always eat double sugar. If I happen to make anything with normal sugar, no one would even touch it..
