My mom tips–
Do not cover the lid ,while boiling the hara chanas.Adding the sugar or a pinch of baking soda in the time of boiling will make its colour retains as it..green in colour.
you can make this halwa without boiling the chana’s . For this——just coarsely grind it in a grinder and after that use as required. But we prefer boiling it, because of the colour and convenience.
Always prefer desi ghee,while preparing halwas and sweet dessert. Believe me,it will come out awesome.
- Always grind the chana in coarse paste. The coarse texture of chana( like rava) come out awesome in taste.
- Always prefer medium heat while making halwa.It prevent to burn the halwa.
- Add sugar according to your taste, while making halwa.
So, dear friend,that’s all for today.
