Wheat Flour - 1/2 cup
Sugar - 1 cup
Melted Ghee - 1 and 1/4 cups (+ 2 to 3 tsp)
Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp
Cashewnuts - 1 tbsp broken
Warm Water - 1 cup(for soaking) + water - 1/4 cup
Orange Food color - a pinch (optional)
Method:
Take wheat flour and add water little by little to form a stiff dough. Soak the dough in 1 cup of warm water atleast for 5-7 hours - I soaked it overnight. Then mix the dough well with your hands till the dough is completely dissolved without any lumps.
Then strain the milk using a strainer and discard the leftout scum. Leave the milk to rest for sometime....Next, discard the top most clear liquid, without disturbing the settled milk(this step is optional but helps in saving time to get the final halwa stage). Fry the cashews in ghee and set aside.
How to make rajma masala - Step2
Take a heavy bottomed pan(I used my nonstick pan)Boil sugar with 1/4 cup water until it reaches a single thread consistency. Then add the wheat flour milk.
Keep stirring...once it reaches the porridge stage start adding ghee may be 2-3 tbsp.
Next it starts to look more transparent, add the food color and keep stirring. Add ghee and keep stirring it absorbs the ghee fast.More stirring and you will reach a consistency where it will come together as a whole mass.
Keep stirring and add the remaining ghee....once it reaches halwa like consistency add the cashews, cardamom powder give a quick stir. Slowly it starts leaving ghee at the sides,try to roll a ball and it will easily form a ball this is the stage you should switch it off.
