MIlk Halwa.

Last day of the second week of BM # 17, presenting you yet another halwa. This milk halwa also I made for my Janaki Paati. Milk halwa is made with two ingredients, Milk and sugar with loads of love and affection for my paati. 

Ingredients:

Milk - 2 liters

Sugar - as per taste

Method:

In a heavy bottomed wok, add the milk and let it boil

Place a small dish in the milk to avoid it boiling over

When the milk is reduced to half the quantity, reduce the flame and keep stirring

Add the required quantity of sugar

Keep stirring regularly to avoid the halwa getting burnt 

When you see a coarse structure of the halwa remove it from fire and let it cool

One point to be noted is that, you need lot of patience to do this halwa.
