Instructions

1. To begin making the WeetBix Halwa recipe, if you are using almonds, soak for 2 hours else this step can be ignored.Remove the skin from almonds. Blend the nuts with saffron and less than 1/2 a cup of water. Blend to a nice paste.Take a microwave safe bowl and brush it with ghee. Crush the weetbix separately with hands.Add a teaspoon of ghee and mix well. Microwave for 30 seconds. Take out and mix well.Microwave for another 30 seconds. By this time you would get a nice aroma. If you are not getting then take out, mix well and keep 30 seconds again. Do not keep beyond 1-1/2 minutes.Add the nuts-saffron mix, remaining water, palm sugar and cardamom with this weet bix. Mix well. The water gets absorbed fast but do not worry.Add 1 teaspoon ghee on top. Microwave for a total of 4 minutes. Take out every 2 minutes and mix well. Adjust the sugar taste, (if you want to do so) during these intervals.After 4 minutes take out and add a teaspoon of ghee. The halwa would become thick by itself in 5 minutes time for the heat it has.Serve either hot, warm or cold. The consistency would remain the same.Serve WeetBix Halwa as a dessert after your Festive Diwali Meal or just after a light dinner of Paneer Pav Bhaji on a weekday.
