Disaster in the dasterkhwan

I tried to make doodh halwa. So i soaked the semolina in milk. And i melt the butter. I add the semolin mix and this is what happened…what on earth!!!
What did i do wrong folks :bummer:

Salvatio ki tor par …i have made it before perfectly, i swear !!!
Its just been a while and im rusting up there obviously

Is it the fine semolina instead of coarse and if so …why can i not use fine?
I let the semolina soak for like 5 minutes…is that too hasty?

Re: Disaster in the dasterkhwan

Hmm..........dont you have to brown the semolina in oil before you add the liquid (water or milk)?

Re: Disaster in the dasterkhwan

I make it the same way as you and I mess up when sugar does
not fully get dissolved. I think that's what happened with yours too.

Re: Disaster in the dasterkhwan

ive never made it with milk but i make it with water, and about the sugar not dissolving i usually boil the sugar in the amount of water i am going to use. and then add it to the semolina....
this is my recipe:

  1. heat butter in a pan and add two elachis,
  2. then lightly brown 1 cup semolina in the butter on a low heat, whilst browning in a seperate pan boil water and sugar together until sugar dossolves (ratio for 1 cup is 3 cups water and 1 cup sugar).
  3. once semolina is golden brown colour,lower heat right down and pour the sugar water mixture (called chaas) in the semolina, stirring at the same time so that you dont form lumps.
  4. stir and add a handful of kishmish. 5.then keeping on low heat, let the halwa cook until butter comes to the top and mixture is slightly thick, decorate with badaam before serving.

Re: Disaster in the dasterkhwan

devoted to allah this is simple semolina halwa and doodh wala halwa is differant.in doodh wala halwa u ahve to soak semolina in milk and then fry it.i dont make it so cant say anything but i think u have to brown semolina on low heat and stirr conteniously.anyway dont have experianced it.
doubleroti halwa is very simple u first fry breadcrumbs in oil and then add milk and eggs in it when milk dries add suger to it and bhoono it until oil seperates from halwa.
Egg Halwa
1 cup sugar
1 cup oil
1 cup milk powder
4 eggs
1/2 cup badaam (chopped)
1/2 cup pista (chopped)
1/2 cup cocunut powder
1/4 cup kishmish

-Heat oil in a pan and add illaichi o it add milk powder and bhoono it until it becoms light brown beat the eggs a nd add them and again bhoono until oil seperats from halwa than add suger and all nuts and again cook it until oil seprats and it becoms light brown in colour.add few drops of kewara.
remember powder milk very little time to brown it burns very quickly.

Re: Disaster in the dasterkhwan

It turns lumpy when u soak the sooji upfront. That is actually the procedure for lumpy chewy halwa that my khala used to make. it had a funny name which i don;t remember. For regular halwa bhoonfy the sooji in oil/butter/ghee whichever u use.
