Method:

  • Soak rice for 8 hours and grind fine.
  • Separately grind the coconut and sieve the coconut milk.
  • Mix 2 cups of water with the ground rice and sieve it.
  • The sieved rice is mixed with the coconut milk.
  • Add sugar and cardamom powder.
  • Keep stirring on medium flame with wooden ladle constantly.
  • Keep adding water little at a time.

  • This process should take between 30-45 minutes.
  • Test the halwa by dropping a small piece into a cup of water.
  • If the halwa holds firm and does not dissipate, then pourthe mixture into a greased plate.
