1

Heat 150 grams of ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan.

2

In a mixing bowl, blend together 8 eggs, 1 pound of milk, 9 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 pound of khoya until well mixed.

3

Pour the egg mixture into the pan with ghee and stir continuously.

4

Cook for 5-7 minutes on medium heat until the mixture thickens, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.

5

Add approximately 1 teaspoon of cardamom powder and stir well.

6

Add 2-3 drops of kewra essence to the mixture to mask the egg smell.

7

Continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes until the mixture thickens further and the ghee starts to separate from the halwa.

Check the consistency; it should resemble scrambled eggs and be thickened with no excess water.

9

Once ready, serve the halwa hot, garnished with dry fruits if desired.
