Health Mix Halwa





Health Mix Halwa
Health mix halwa is Healthy and also easy to prepare.  I have used Manna brand health mix.  We can use store bought or homemade health mix to prepare this halwa.  It takes less time unless like wheat halwa.   Let’s see how to make health mix halwa.

Wheat flour -  ½  cup 
Health mix flour -  ½ cup
Melted ghee  -  1 cup
Sugar  -  1 + ¼ cup
Water  -  2 cups
Green Cardamom -  3
Cashews  -  6
Nutmeg powder / Jadhikai / Jaiphal   -  2 pinches



In a heavy bottom pan  mix wheat flour, health mix flour and ¾ cup of ghee without any lumps add chopped cashews .  Cook on low flame .  Keep stirring frequently till nice aroma comes and the cashews becomes golden brown. 
Meanwhile mix water and sugar in a vessel and boil till sugar completely dissolves .  Keep it aside.
When the flour mixture is ready and cashews turns into golden brown add the sugar syrup gradually and keep stirring while adding syrup.  You should get the mixture without any lumps. 
Keep the flame in low and keep cooking till the halwa thickens nicely.
Add cardamom powder and nutmeg powder.
When all the water gets absorbed and the halwa become very thick in consistency, add ghee in instalments.
Add one tsp at a time and mix nicely till it gets absorbed in halwa.
Keep a mould or plate , well-greased with ghee.
Cook halwa till it become fairly thick and it becomes like a dough and it will comes out smoothly without sticking to the walls of the pan.
Spread the halwa in the silicon mould or plate which is well greased.
Let it cool and comes to room temperature.   
If you are using silicon mould , do not disturb halwa till it comes to room temperature and unmold it in flat plate gently.  
Cut into square or desired shape.


Enjoy the healthy halwa with family and friends.

Note :
ü I have used Manna brand health mix.  You can use any brand or homemade health mix.
ü Mill ground wheat flour tastes great than the readymade wheat flour.
ü No need to add any food colour.
ü Avoid using Non-stick Pan for cooking halwa , as you may not able to find out the correct consistency .

I would like to hear from you….  Kindly pass on your suggestions and appreciations.   Thank you.
