Main Ingredients

6Eggs
1 cupGhee
1 cupSugar
3-4 (crushed)Cardamom pods
3 tablespoonsMilk powder
for garnishAlmonds (sliced)
few drops (optional)Butter essence/Kewra water

Step-by-Step Instructions

1.Prepare the Egg Mixture
Crack 6 eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add 1 cup of ghee and 1 cup of sugar to the bowl. Whisk the mixture thoroughly using a hand whisk until all ingredients are well combined and the sugar has dissolved. If desired, add a few drops of butter essence or kewra water to mask any eggy smell.
2.Cook the Halwa Base
Pour the whisked egg mixture into a non-stick pan or kadhai. Place the pan over low to medium heat. Begin stirring the mixture continuously with a whisk or spatula. Add the crushed cardamom powder to the mixture.
3.Develop Texture and Color
Continue stirring the mixture constantly. The mixture will gradually thicken and start to form small granules. Keep stirring and breaking up any large lumps with your spatula. Cook until the ghee begins to separate from the halwa and the mixture turns a rich yellow color, indicating it's well-cooked and crumbly.
4.Add Milk Powder and Finish
Once the halwa has reached the desired texture and the ghee has separated, add 3 tablespoons of milk powder. Mix the milk powder thoroughly into the halwa until it is fully incorporated and the halwa is uniformly mixed. Cook for another 1-2 minutes while stirring.
5.Serve and Garnish
Remove the halwa from the heat. Transfer the hot egg halwa to a serving dish. Garnish generously with sliced almonds or any other preferred dry fruits. Serve warm and enjoy this delicious winter treat.
