I tried this Green Peas halwa in microwave and it came out very well!! I took this recipe from a magazine.I did some modifications and tried!! Very simple & easy to do:)Mine is a 700w Power output oven. Here I’ve mentioned the time it took.Based on ur model,Please vary the setting time.
Cooking time: 24 mins
Standing time: 2 mins
Ingredients 1 cup – 240ml
Green Peas or Dried Peas – 1 cup ( soak if using dried peas for 8 hrs)
Water – 1/4 cup (add more if reqd.)
Milk – 11/4 cup
Sugar – 1cup
Milk powder – 2 tbsp
Ghee – 3tsp
Cashew nut & Dry grapes – To decorate
Method
Take the Green Peas/Dried peas with water in a microwave vessel and close it .
MICRO- HIGH for 8 mins.Stir once in the middle.
Take the cooked peas out and let it cool down.
Grind the peas to make a paste using 1/4 cup of milk.
Dilute the milk powder(I used amulya) in little lukewarm milk so that there will be no lumps.
Now take the ground paste,dissolved milk powder & the remaining milk(1 cup) with sugar in a microwave vessel.
Stir it well.Make sure there are no lumps.(TIPS: if u find any lumps , just run this mixture in the mixie once or twice)
MICRO-HIGH for 12mins with lid open by stirring once in the middle.
After 12 mins it looks like this
Now take the thickened halwa out and make a dent in the middle.
Pour the ghee and add the pieces of cashew,dry grapes & cardamom powder into it.
MICRO-HIGH for 4 mins with lid open.
Remove the vessel and keep it as such for 2 mins(standing time).
Then stir it well.
Grease a plate with ghee and spread the halwa into it.
