Steps

40 minutes

1

Take 6 green cardamoms, remove the skins and crush the black seeds and keep them aside.
2

In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Add milk and food colour and whisk thoroughly.
3

In a heavy bottomed saucepan, take 1 tbsp of ghee and heat it. Add the cashews and kismis and lightly fry them. Take them out with a slotted spoon and keep aside.
4

In the same pan, add the rest of the ghee and when it is hot, add the dried bay leaf and 2 nos green cardamom. When it releases flavour, lower the heat and pour in the milk and eggs, while whisking.
5

Keep the temperature at low and continue stirring. Just like you do for a creamy scrambled egg, keep stirring till the milk starts to thicken.
6

When it has thickened like a custard, increase the temp to medium and keep stirring till it thickens further.
7

As the egg continues to cook, all the water will evaporate and become this grainy sweet mix.
8

Keep at it patiently and towards the end, add the sugar. You can change the quantity of sugar as per your taste.
9

When the milk and water has evaporated and you can see the ghee leaving the sides and the sugar giving a bit of syrupy texture, add the crushed cardamom and mix thoroughly.
10

Add the dry fruits and nuts and turn off the heat.
Serve Ande ka Halwa hot or warm.
