Cabbage Halwa

Another offering to God today on Saraswathi habba. Also, I'm sending this post as an entry to various Dasara festival competitions hosted by the following blog & orkut community.

Ingredients: -

2 cups cabbage, finely chopped

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup grated coconut

2 tbsp cashew nuts, roasted

1/4 tsp cardamom powder

1 tbsp ghee

little milk, required during grinding

few drops Vanilla essence

1 tbsp dry grapes, for garnishing

Method: -

1. In a heavy bottomed pan, add little ghee & fry the cabbage for a minute or two.

2. Then pour water over it & cook till it becomes tender. This should take around 10-15 minutes.

3. When no water is left, remove from fire & let the cooked cabbage cool down completely.

4. Grind this along with cashew nuts & coconut along with little milk.

5. In the pan add sugar & sprinkle water on it. Prepare the sugar syrup.

6. When the sugar dissolves completely, add the ground paste & keep stirring till halwa consistency is reached.

7. Add the remaining ghee & remove from fire. Let it cool.

8. Add cardamom powder & vanilla essence. Mix well.

9. Garnish with dry grapes.
