Fruits are an amazing source of natural sugar. I love using them in desserts. This one for example. First try and it came out so well. Do try it and let me know.
APPLE BANANA SHEER (HALWA)
Ingredients:
Semolina/Rawa - 1 cup
Ghee - 1 cup
Sugar - 3/4 cup
Water - 2 cups (For the roasted rawa I used, it absorbed a good 3 cups water, so please use as required)
Chopped apple - 1/4 cup
Chopped Banana - 1/4 cup
Sliced cashews - a few
Cinnamon powder - a pinch
clove powder - a pinch
Method:
1. Add water and chopped apples to a saucepan and let simmer so the apples cook. After about 5 mins, add the cinnamon and clove powders so the apple absorbs the flavour.
2. Once the apple pieces are tender, add the sugar and stir well. Simmer only till sugar dissolves. Turn off flame.
3. Meanwhile heat ghee in a non-stick pan and add cashews. Roast till golden brown, remove and keep aside.
4. Now add the semolina/rawa to the ghee and keep stirring on low-medium flame till rawa turns golden brown and you get a nice 'bhuna hua' or roasted aroma.
5. Add the chopped bananas and give it a good stir for 3-4 mins.
6. Now carefully add the apple-sugar water (it will splutter so be careful). Stir quickly and continuously to avoid lumps.
7. Once all the water is absorbed, check consistency and if the rawa looks cooked. If the halwa is too thick, add little more water.
8. Add the cashews and cover-cook on low for about 5 mins. Check the rawa again. If all looks good, remove from flame and serve.
