Coconut Milk Halwa

-
Coconut Milk Halwa - The most healthiest Halwa with all the right ingredients & most importantly this one is sugar free..

Ingredients -
1 big size coconut
1 cup wheat flour
1 and 1/2 cup jaggery powder
10-15 Cashews

Method -

1. Knead wheat flour the similar way you knead to make rotis and then add 2 cups of water over the dough and let it rest for about one hour.

2. Grate one coconut and add it to a mixer jar and add one cup of water and grind it nicely to extract the first coconut milk.

3. Strain the first coconut milk with the help of cloth or strainer.

4. Again add one cup of water to the coconut and grind it nicely to extract the second coconut milk.

5. Repeat the above process & extract the third coconut milk.

6. Now add the jaggery powder into the coconut milk and keep it aside so that the jaggery dissolves.
 
7. Now after one hour remove the wheat flour dough that you have immersed in 2 cups of water earlier and squash the dough with your hand. You will see the water looks like white creamy milk. Now strain the wheat milk in a glass container. After straining you need to throw away the wheat gluten and then allow the milk to settle for about 3-4hrs.

8. After 3 hours you will observe that the wheat milk and the water has separated. Just throw away the water and add the thick wheat milk into the coconut milk and jaggery mixture.

9. Take a heavy bottom big pan and add the halwa mixture to the pan and start cooking it in medium flame. You need to stir the mixture continuously.

10. Add the cashews when the consistency is slightly thick(Approx. after 45 minutes of stirring)

11. Cook the mixture for about 1 and half hour or you need to cook until you see oil separating from the sides of the pan.

14. Grease a tray or glass container with coconut oil and pour the mixture into it. 

15. Allow the halwa to cool and cut it into small pieces and enjoy the tasty sweet with your family.

*Tips*
1. If the coconut is small in size use one and half coconut for extracting milk.

2. Never hurry while getting the thick wheat milk as the separation process take about 3 to 4 hours.

3. Do not cook the mixture in high flame.

4. No need to add ghee or coconut oil while cooking the mixture.

5. The halwa takes about at least one and half hour to get the proper consistency. 

6. How to know whether the halwa is almost done? 
The halwa will come smoothly out of the pan and will start to leave oil around the pan.
