Happy Independence Day - Tri Colored Halwa

60 years, yes it’s been 60 years since “that” midnight seasoned with aspirations of a million people. India and Indians have come a long way; gone are the days when India was totally depended on the western world for all that’s “cutting-edge”. Today, India is a proud member of the science & technology high table.

Ingredients:

Method:

1. Heat ghee in a wide bottomed pan.
2. Add Sooji, and fry on low, till it gives a very nice aroma.
3. Meanwhile keep water for boiling.
4. Add boiling water to sooji, while mixing well, to avoid lumps.
5. Keep stirring on medium, till all the water has been absorbed.
6. Add sugar and salt, and mix well.
7. Stir till it forms halwa consistency.
8. Divide the halwa into 3 portions.
9. Mix orange color in one, and green in an other.

Tri Colored Sooji Halwa

And the Verdict:
I did not feel like serving as it is, becoz it resembled the national flag.
So I separated the layers and made them as two layered halwa after the photo session :)
Very appealing with different colors and tasty too!!!
