Muscat Halwa Kolkata style

#weekorange #rainbowchallenge
Along with the festival of Holi there was another Great & Holy Festival - "Shab-E-Barat ".
The fond childhood memories of Shab-E- Barat meaning " THE NIGHT OF FORTUNE & FORGIVENESS" still lingers .as children we used to wait eagerly for this Islamic festival, didn't understand much about this festival then as a child but would eagerly wait remembering it as the "Festival of Halwa" ( no offence please .just sharing a child's thought ) as my neighbor and my few classmates would give / bring the two most popular Halwas prepared during this festival , both my favourite- Chana (Dal) Ka Halwa and Muscat Halwa. Later as I grew up- during my teenage days, I learnt how to make from Soni Di, my neighbor. When I asked for the recipe for both, I was more amazed with Muscat Halwa as I came to know that the delicious, melt in the mouth Muscat Halwa is made from " Maida Ka doodh " till that time I only knew cow/buff/ goat milk.
Good I learnt at that time because now I have to make myself whenever I feel like having.as there's noone to give and share as all of us moved ahead in life in different directions.with only the fond memories to cherish .
Now both Halwas are my family favourite!My son loves it so much .he had already digged in the Halwa while it was cooling and setting and I was busy with other chores.
You can Garnish with pistachios slivers too.
Note: Saffron is optional, but since I love saffron I love adding in everything.

Steps

3:30-4:00 hrs
  1. 1

    Kned a firm dough, cover and let it rest for half an hour. Now add water and massage the dough.the water will start turning milky.once it's thick and white like milk and you are left with a lump of stretchy rag type of dough, it means you are done. It takes about 15-20 minutes to milk it. Strain the milk.

    Grease a steel plate with ghee and keep it ready.
    Pour the Maida Ka doodh / milk in a kadai (big enough to comfortably stir it). Add the saffron water also. Keep on stirring with a flat steel/wooden / silicon spatula till it forms a lump...it hardly takes 5 minutes to form the lump. Add in half the quantity of ghee and keep mixing and stirring.for another 10 minutes.in between add the char magaz also.

    Now add the orange food color powder and mix well (if you want you can add the color after you add the sugar).you can skip the color if you don't want dark intense orange color.add the remaining ghee (you will observe that the Halwa looks dry at this stage/time) and bhunno more for few more minutes.say about 3-5 minutes. Add in the sugar and mix well. Now add the kewra water and mitha Attar also and keep on stirring (bhunnoing it) it.for almost 8- 10 minutes.

    It will thin down a bit with the melting of sugar but will start thickening again cook till the ghee starts oozing out (or separating out) from the Halwa. Put off the flame and pour all the Halwa in the steel plate and spread and flatten it.sprinkle the pistachios slivers if you are using it for garnishing.let it cool and come to room temperature and set. I had left it for two hours. Then cut into square size barfis. Now your Muscat Halwa is ready to be served.
    Bon Appetit!
