Preparing For Mango Custard Halwa
Making this halwa is easy. First, blend the mango puree, powder sugar, and custard powder in a mixer jar.
If you are making it from mangoes, then you first need to make the puree from mangoes. If you do not have powdered sugar, you can add sugar to the mangoes before blending. Or powder the sugar separately before adding it to the puree.
This option will make it super easy to mix. Or you can use the hand blender to combine them and make sure it is lump-free.
Now heat a pan and cook the mango pulp on a medium-high flame. The mixture needs to be thick. So all the water needs to evaporate. Make sure to stir it properly not to let the ingredients burn.
Once the water is evaporated, add ghee gradually to the mixture. Keep stirring the mixture well. Then add cardamom powder and stir again.
Lastly, add cashew and almond pieces to the mixture. Stir one last time and let it cool down to room temperature. Meanwhile, grease the container or mould it with ghee.
Pour the mixture into the mould and level it up. Glaze it with some ghee and garnish it with dry fruits. Finally, cover it with foil or plastic wrap and freeze it overnight. After it is set, cut it however you want and enjoy it.
Tips:
- We are using vanilla custard powder here, but one can use any available flavours. You can choose which one you want. Just keep in mind that it goes well in the recipe.
- You can use mango, cut them, and blend them for puree. But you need to have ripe and sweet mangoes to make it.
- We are using powder sugar as it mixes easily. You can use regular sugar if you want, but you may need to stir more as it quickly burns. Besides, it also will increase the water content. Moreover, if you can think of other alternatives for sweetness, you can try that.
- The sweetness can be varied as per your taste preference.
- You can use milk in this recipe with the puree. Add milk while cooking the puree. If you want it vegan then add almond milk instead of regular milk.
- If you do not like cardamom powder’s taste much, replace this ingredient with cinnamon or nutmeg powder.
- You can add some other dry fruits, nuts, or seeds for garnishing.
