🌶️ Mirchi Ka Halwa – A Sweet and Spicy Surprise

Whenever we hear the word "halwa", we think of suji, carrot, or moong dal halwa. But Sajid Bhai broke this tradition and crafted a dish that surprises at first glance and wins your heart with its taste – Green Chilli Halwa.

This dish is especially for those who love to try something new, unique, and offbeat. In this recipe, spicy green chilies are cooked with sweet mawa, ghee, and dry fruits in such a way that each bite gives you a mix of heat and sweetness.

🍲 Ingredients

• Green chilies (less spicy) – 200 grams

• Desi ghee – 4 tablespoons

• Mawa (khoya) – 150 grams

• Condensed milk – 100 ml

• Sugar – 100 grams (adjust to taste)

• Cardamom powder – 1/2 teaspoon

• Dry fruits (cashews, almonds, pistachios) – for garnish

• Milk – as needed

👨‍🍳 Step-by-step Recipe

1. Preparing the Chillies

Wash the green chilies, remove the seeds, and finely chop or coarsely grind them. This step is crucial to make sure the halwa doesn’t turn too spicy and stays flavorful.

2. Roasting in Ghee

Heat desi ghee in a heavy pan. Add the chopped chilies and roast on low flame until the raw smell disappears and the color slightly changes.

3. Adding Mawa and Sweetness

Now add the mawa and roast well. Then add the condensed milk and sugar. Cook on low flame until the mixture thickens and becomes halwa-like in texture.

4. Flavor and Garnish

Add cardamom powder and garnish with chopped dry fruits. Let it cool a bit before serving, as the taste and richness intensify when it settles.
