Stepwise Pictures

Cut the the edges off from the bread and cut them into little squares.



Heat 4 tablespoon ghee in a non-stick pan and roast the bread pieces in the ghee in medium to high flame till they are browned and certainly not burnt . The bread will absorb all the ghee. So if you keep adding ghee, all the extra ghee will ooze out off the halwa once it is done.



Remove the roasted/sauteed bread pieces to a plate.



Heat 1 tablespoon ghee in a pan and roast the cashews till they are slightly browned.



Remove the roasted cashews to a separate bowl/plate.



Heat 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in the same non-stick pan we roasted bread at high flame.



When the sugar dissolves completely in the water and starts boiling , throw in the cardamom powder and sauteed cashews.



Put the sauteed bread pieces to the pan in high to medium flame.



Keep stirring the bread pieces and mash it with the ladle. The bread pieces will absorb the sugar solution.



When all the water is absorbed and the bread is completely smashed, the halwa starts to leave the sides. You can scoop them with the ladle.



You can see in the picture the halwa is rolled out of the pan. This is the perfect consistency, remove the halwa from the heat. You can



Enjoy the yummy halwa. The heaven of sweetness.
