WHOLE SORGHUM MILK FUDGE/JOWAR/JOLA HAALBAI/HAALUBAYI/HAALBAYI
A very happy DEEPAWALI to one & all
A healthy, guilt free sweet fudge/steamed cake recipe, made using the milk extracted from the soaked whole Sorghum/Jowar/mekke jola. The recipe explained with step wise procedure pics. We normally make this fudge/haalbai using whole wheat or ragi or rice & coconut or rice flakes. But today I tried making this recipe using whole Sorghum/Jowar/Mekke Jola and it turned to be too yummy, tasty. So one more healthy addition to my sweets category. Do make this sweet to celebrate Deepavali.
It may be my innovation, as I have never heard or seen anybody mentioning about this sweet

Ingredients : measuring cup used – 250 ml, makes 12 pieces of below shown size
- Soaked whole sorghum/Jowar/mekke jola – 1/2 cup
- Jaggery – 1/2 cup (tightly packed)
- Water – 1&1/4 cup
- Cardamom powder – 1/4 tsp
PROCEDURE :
- Soak the sorghum in enough water for overnight (I have soaked 1/2 cup cup of it, but it has become more in quantity after soaking, So I have measured and took exactly 1/2 cup)
- Heat and dissolve jaggery by adding 1/4 cup of water (just dissolve, no need to thicken the syrup), strain into a pan
- Grind the soaked jowar using 3/4 cup of water very smoothly, strain into the same pan, rinse the mixie jar in the remaining 1/4 cup of water and also add this to the pan, put cardamom powder as well
- Now cook on medium heat by stirring continuously until the mixture becomes thick and leaves the edges of the pan and comes as a whole
- Transfer to a wet plate and let it sit for 1/2 an hour, cut into desired shape and the sorghum milk fudge/jolada haalbai is ready to be relished on
Today I paired this with Potato/aloo/alugadde bonda(made in appe pan)
