Ingredients:

Method:

Soak rice for 8 hours and grind fine.
Separately grind the coconut and sieve the coconut milk.
Mix 2 cups of water with the ground rice and sieve it.
The sieved rice is mixed with the coconut milk.
Add sugar and cardamom powder.
Keep stirring on medium flame with wooden ladle constantly.
Keep adding water little at a time.
The mixture has to cook on slow flame (typically how it is done for any halwa).
This process should take between 30-45 minutes.
Test the halwa by dropping a small piece into a cup of water.
If the halwa holds firm and does not dissipate, then pourthe mixture into a greased plate.
Let it cool, cut into pieces for serving.
