Mix fruit halwa

I was motivated to experiment more new recipes on halwa as a result of good ginger halwa recipe. As offerings to Lord Krishna on festival of Janmastami I tried mix fruit halwa on the availability of the fruit at home. One can use fruit of thier own choice, only to be careful on its selection for example i preferred sweet taste fruits like chickoo, apple and banana. It is best choice of dessert and also good for children as its made up of natural fruits. 
















Ingredients :-


5 chickoo
2 banana
2 apple
1 cup khoya
1/1/2  cup milk
2tbs cardamom powder
5tbs sugar
1tbs ghee


How to :-

  • Take pulp of chickoo and apple and banana and grind in food processor to prepare paste.
  • Heat ghee in pan and stir the pulp paste for 10 min.
  • Add khoya and cardamom powder and mix well.
  • Add milk and sugar and heat it for next 15 min and keep stirring till it becomes thick.


Serve it hot and garnish with cashew nuts.
