Corn Flour Halwa
1.corn flour-1/2 cup
water-2 cups
In a large bowl mix together the above ingredients without any lumps.Set aside.
2.sugar-1 1/4 cup
water-1/2 cup
lemon juice-1 tsp

In a large kadai or nonstick pan,take 1 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water.Bring this to a boil.No need to attain string consistency.
keep stirring, and pour in the set aside cornflour water.Continue
to stir until the mixture starts to thicken.
Pour in 1 tsp lemon juice and continue to mix.(lemon is used to prevent sugar from crystalizing)
Now add 1 tbsp of ghee and continue to mix until the ghee is well absorbed.
Keep adding ghee in batches until it absorbs completely.
Once the mixture turns glossy (after 30 minutes), add few drops of food colour -I used yellow color,and mix well.
Now add the crushed cardamom ,1 tbsp cashew and mix well making sure everything is well combined.
after 40 minutes, the mixture will turn super glossy.
Now add 1 tsp of more ghee and continue to stir until the mixture starts to release ghee.
Transfer the halwa mixture into the tray.Sprinkle few chopped nuts and level it up.
Rest for 30 minutes or until the halwa is set completely.
Once cooled completely , cut the halwa into pieces
