Ingredients

  • 1 kg broken lotus seeds
  • 400 g ghee
  • 200 g sugar
  • 50 g almonds
  • 25 g pista

Step

  • Step 1 :

    Soak broken lotus seeds in cold water for at least 12 hours.

  • Step 2 :

    Remove the hard black skin from the top and peel the green skin from the seed.

  • Step 3 :

    Wash them thoroughly in running water and make a granular paste.

  • Step 4 :

    Heat the ghee in a thick-bottom kadhai (not an iron vessel, otherwise the halwa will turn black).

  • Step 5 :

    Make a sugar syrup with the sugar and 500ml of water.

  • Step 7 :

    Add the syrup and cook till the halwa is thick and well done.
