Palak Halwa

Being a Big Fan of Master Chef, this is the first recipe i tried following it. I never thought Palak as a dessert, but after making this Halwa it has become my Favorite Sweet !


Ingredients :
1) Palak - 1 Bunches
2) Ricotta Cheese - 200 gms 
3) Khoya - 1 Cup
4) Cinnamon Powder - 1 Tsp
5) Fresh Berries (Strawberry, Blue Berry, Cranberry etc any Berry of your choice) 
6) Sugar - 1 Cup
7) Milk - 1.5 Cup
8) Basil Leaves - 4-5 leaves (Optional) 
9) Pistachio (Chopped) 

Steps :
1) Boil Milk, add Palak and Basil Leaves in milk and cook till Palak becomes soft. 
2) Filter the milk and then crush cooked Palak and Basil Leaves to make a smooth paste. Keep this paste aside for now.
3) Heat a pan and add Khoya let it become little soft. 
4) Then add the Palak-Basil Paste to it and keep stirring every min till Palak is cooked well.
5) Now add Ricotta Cheese and mix it well
6) Add Cinnamon powder, Pistachio. Mix everything and cook for 2-3 Mins.
7) Now add fresh berries and mix it well. Turn of the Gas and leave it for 1 Min.
8) Now transfer the Halwa to the serving Bowl and decorate with Fruits, Pista or Basil Leaf (as per your creativity)

Once it cools down its ready for serving. I didn't like it hot, but you can also serve hot if you like it :).
