Amaranth or Rajgira Halwa

Pour 2 cups of Malai in a heavy bottom or non sticky kadhai. Heat and stir in between until it melts and gets reduced to nearly half in quantity.
Tip: 1) Malai that is used to make ghee was previously collected from 5 to 6 days from the full fat boiled milk.

Stir in at every 2 to 3 minutes until it gets reduced or changes its color to golden brown. It will form into a solid mixture after some time and the ghee begins to float upon the top surface. Do not allow to stick at the base or on the edges.

Stir frequently until the ghee begins to separate completely. Turn off the flame and allow to come at room temperature. Strain out the prepared ghee and seprate mixture from it.

First, we need to make Amaranth Flour from the whole Amaranth seeds. Take heavy bottom or non sticky pan or kadhai. Turn on the flame and put 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of Rajgira or whole Amaranth seeds in it.

The seeds begins to pop out and changes its color from golden to white. Do not allow the seeds to remain in pan for long. You need to toss it frequently otherwise they will burn and turn to black.
Tip: 1) The lesser the quantity of the seeds while putting in kadhai, the better will be the popped seeds.
2) There isn't any problem if few of the seeds remained unpopped.

Transfer to plate and again put half teaspoon seeds in a kadhai. Again allow the seeds to pop out and toss them up until they change from golden to white. Transfer to plate and keep aside. Repeat the same steps for rest of the seeds.

Now we have all the popped seeds prepared. Allow to cool and then transfer to blender jar.

Blend to form into Flour. Transfer it to cup and keep with all the ingredients together to make Halwa.

Heat 3 tablespoons prepared ghee in a kadhai until it melts on low medium heat. Keep the remaining 1 tablespoon of ghee to use later in halwa.Put prepared rajgira flour it it.

Dry roast for few minutes until it changes its color. It is not required to roast for long as the flour prepared is already from the popped seeds.

Add warm water in it. Mix and stir in until the water is absorbed within the flour. Add jaggery to the Halwa and give it a mix.
Optional to use jaggery. Sugar can also be used.

Add Chopped almonds or nuts of your choice. Pour little amount of ghee upon the prepared Halwa while serving. Adding ghee is optional. Transfer it to bowl and garnish with some more nuts.
