A delicious way to use leftover rice by making halwa. This dessert combines cooked rice, sugar, ghee, and nuts, creating a rich and flavorful treat. The addition of saffron and cardamom gives it a unique taste.
1: In a non-stick kadhai, add the cooked rice with some ghee and sauté for 1 minute.
2: Cool it down and blend it into a very smooth paste.
3: In the same kadhai, add some more ghee and fry the cashews until they are golden brown, then set them aside.
4: Add the rice paste and sauté for a minute, then add sugar and mix thoroughly.
5: Add the saffron strands, food color, salt, and cardamom powder.
6: Cook the mixture while gradually adding the remaining ghee.
7: Once the ghee completely separates and it starts to look like halwa, add the fried cashews and mix.
