How to make sweets without mawa?
Sweet Besan Milk Recipe: When guests are about to come to the house or when you suddenly feel like eating something sweet, the biggest problem is what to prepare. There is a fear of adulteration in market sweets, and making many sweets at home takes a lot of time and effort. In such a case, if you find such a recipe, which is prepared with less ingredients, does not need mawa and tastes just like sweets, then the whole thing becomes different. Many of these sweets are prepared in traditional Rajasthani cuisine, which has a very special taste. These include granular sweets made from milk and chickpea flour.
What’s special about this recipe is that instead of frying the chickpea flour directly in ghee, it is mixed first with milk. This method gives a different taste and smooth texture to the desserts. This dessert is prepared without sugar syrup in less time and is loved by people of all ages. Let us know the complete method to prepare this easy Rajasthani recipe.
Prepare chickpea flour and milk dough in this way
This dessert starts with a special Rajasthani style called ‘Besan Dholna’ in the local language. First, filter two cups of chickpea flour through a sieve, so that there are no lumps in it. Now take one cup of milk and mix it little by little with chickpea flour. Keep beating it well with the help of a whisk or spoon. Keep in mind that the solution must be very thick and smooth. After the solution is ready, leave it covered for 10 minutes. The taste of cardamom and nutmeg will fill the aroma.
While preparing the chickpea flour mixture, prepare the flavored confectioners’ sugar. Add 3/4 cup sugar to the mixing bowl. Mix 4 to 5 cardamoms and a small piece of nutmeg with it. Grind all these things and make a fine powder. This small step enhances the taste of multiple desserts and adds a royal touch to homemade desserts.
Adopt this easy trick without burning gas
Often times, while frying chickpea flour, it sticks to the pan or forms clumps. To avoid this, put half a cup of ghee in a heavy-bottomed frying pan. Keep in mind that the gas should not be turned on at this time. Now add the prepared gram flour solution in ghee and mix it well. Only when the two ingredients are completely mixed, turn the gas on low heat. With this trick, the chickpea flour is roasted evenly and the texture of the dessert becomes better.
The semolina will add a pleasant flavour
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly. After that, add a quarter cup of semolina. Now continue frying the mixture on low heat while pressing it with the ladle. Within some time, the chickpea flour will start turning light golden in color and a pleasant aroma will spread throughout the kitchen. Adding semolina gives a slight grain of sweetness, making it even more delicious.
The secret to sugary flavor and shine
When the chickpea flour is well roasted, add sugar prepared with cardamom and nutmeg. After adding the sugar, the mixture will become a bit loose. Keep moving it constantly. Meanwhile, add a teaspoon of ghee on top. This little secret gives the candy a candy-like shine. Cook the mixture until it starts leaving the pan.
Set and submit like this
Grease a steel plate or barfi tray with light ghee. Distribute well chopped almonds and pistachios. Now pour the prepared mixture into a hot plate and spread it evenly with the help of a spoon. Let it cool completely. When the candy is cooked, cut it into desired shapes. The most loved, aromatic and maa-free Rajasthani sweet is ready.
