Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup jaggery
  • 1 cup of water
  • 3 tbsp of desi ghee
  • 5-6 almonds
  • 5-6 cashews
  • 1/2 cup of Ragi Flour
  • 1/2 tsp of cardamom powder
  • Chopped nuts for Garnishing

Instructions
 

  • To make Ragi Halwa, take 1/2 cup jaggery in a Pan.
  • Add 1 cup of water to the pan and turn on the gas. Let it come to a boil, and then cook till the jaggery melts completely. Our jaggery syrup is ready now.
  • Now, take a Kadai or Pan, and add 2 tbsp of Desi Ghee to it, and then roast 5-6 almonds in it.
  • After roasting almonds for a bit, add 5-6 cashews to the Kadai and roast them as well for a bit. We add cashews later, as they get roasted quickly.
  • After roasting, take out the cashews and almonds. Keep aside.
  • Add 1/2 cup of Ragi Flour to the Kadai on a low flame.
  • Mix and roast the Ragi with the Ghee very well until it changes color and gives a very nice aroma.
  • Add 1 tbsp of Ghee, and roast it well on a low flame for a few minutes. You can see the consistency below.
  • Now, add the jaggery syrup little by little and mix well.
  • Keep stirring the mixture consistently.
  • You will see that the mixture will start to thicken very quickly. Just keep stirring.
  • As soon as it thickens to 4/5, add 1/2 tsp of cardamom powder for flavor. Mix well.
  • After mixing, add the roasted cashews and almonds. Mix well.
  • After a few minutes, the Halwa will start leaving the Pan; you can see the texture below. The Halwa is ready now. Let it cool down.
  • Garnish with dry fruits. Enjoy the delicious and healthy Ragi Halwa.
