Diwali Special

WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY DIWALI !


It's been a very busy day for me. I am happy the sweets I tried for Diwali turned out awesome. I prepared ABC halwa & bread jamun. My Amma(mother) suggested these recipes. She got these recipes from a tamil weekly.
Here is the recipe for all of you.

ABC Halwa

Ingredients:
Apple: 1cup

Sugar: 1cup
Ghee: 1/2-3/4cup

Method:
Peel & dice the apple.
Slice the banana.
Peel & grate the carrot.
Blend apple, banana & carrot with the milk.
Add the blended mixture to a thick bottomed pan & place this on medium flame & stir occasionally (be careful it will splatter).
Add ghee in small quantities & stir continuously. Then add sugar & stir again.
Once ghee separates, the halwa is ready.
