DIWALI  Special - BOMBAY ICE HALWA

BOMBAY ICE HALWA is a popular sweet enjoyed during Diwali. It is thin sheet made of up different flavours and topped with dry fruits. In Mumbai the Mohanlal S Mumbai Mithai Wala's Ice Halwa is very famous. Now it is easily available in all the sweet shop but the interestingly ICE HALWA is not that complicated dessert and can be easily made at home. Yes it does call for some efforts unlike other zatpat wale sweets. 

Here I am sharing the recipe of the ICE HALWA I tried during lockdown Diwali. Note I have not added any colours or preservatives except for few drops of Vanilla Essence but that is also optional. It gives it a nice taste hence added.  You can add colours and make it of different flavours like rose, kiwi, orange etc. Do try this recipe and make ICE HALWA at home and save money because making this sweet at home calls for easily available home ingredients like Maida, Milk, ghee and sugar. 


Ingredients: 
  • 1 cup of Maida
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup of melted desi ghee 
  • 1.5 cup of sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of elachi powder
  • 2 teaspoon of kesar mixed milk 
  • Few drops of vanilla essence (essence is optional)  
  • Finely chopped Badam, pista for the garnish
  • Butter paper sheets 


Recipe
  • In a thick bottom pan or kadai...take 1 cup of Maida, 1 cup milk, 1 cup of melted desi ghee and 1.5 cup of sugar...first mix it well before putting on flame...while mixing ensure no lumps
  • Now put it low flame a keep mixing...add 1/2 teaspoon of elachi powder, 2 teaspoon of kesar mixed milk and few drops of vanilla essence (essence is optional)  please note once mixture becomes thick u will need lot of efforts.. basically burn some calories
  • Now once it's becomes thick and cooked it will start leaving sides of the pan...now on a kitchen platform...put butter paper. 
  • Apply some ghee and pour this mixture and roll it thinly with a belan.
