Ingredients: # Milk 5 cups # Raw Rice 2 cups # Fresh Grated Coconut 1 cup # Water 1 cup # Sugar 3 cups # Ghee 1 teaspoon # Salt 1/8 teaspoon Method: 1. Soak the rice in water about 3-4 hours. 2. Drain the water and grind the soaked rice, salt and grated coconut (using 1 cup of water) to make smooth paste.(You can use the milk, if you need more liquid to grind.) 3. Heat the milk in a thick bottomed large size vessel at medium heat. Keep on stirring the milk while it warms up. 4. When the milk is hot, add the sugar and ghee and mix well. 5. Then slowly add the rice and coconut paste while you are continuously stirring the mixture. (The rice and coconut paste should be of pouring consistency. If it is too thick add some milk to make it thin.) 6. Keep on stirring until the mixture gets thick and is not glued to the sides of the vessel any more. Remove the vessel from the heat. 7. Dump the thickend mixture on a greased 9"x9" pan, spread evenly(Use ghee to grase the pan). Once it cools down, cut the haalbai into 1" sqare pieces. 8. Serve the haalbai with ghee. |
