The Ultimate Guide to Authentic Multani Sohan Halwa Recipe (Traditional Method)

Do you want real Multani Sohan Halwa? Actually, this famous sweet has made people happy for many years. Today, we will share the classic recipe that made Multan known everywhere.

What is Multani Sohan Halwa?

First of all, this is a classic sweet from Multan. Interestingly, the name “Sohan” means “pleasing”. Trust us, one bite will show you why. Unlike other sweets, this halwa has a special feel. Specifically, it is solid and chewy. Usually, people make it in round shapes.

Here is what makes it special. Firstly, it is made with 100% pure desi ghee. Secondly, it is rich with good dry fruits. Thirdly, it has a unique sweet taste. Also, it uses a real sprouted wheat base. Finally, it stays fresh for weeks.

The Secret Behind Real Sohan Halwa

At Multan Sweets, we have made this recipe perfect for over 25 years. Furthermore, our expert chefs use old methods. In fact, these methods have been passed down through families. What is our secret? Truly, we use no shortcuts. Also, we make no compromises.

Key Items That Make the Difference

1. Pure Desi Ghee

Most importantly, this is vital for real Sohan Halwa. Sadly, many makers use cheap oil to save money. However, this changes everything about the taste. On the other hand, pure desi ghee gives a rich smell. Therefore, this is what makes our halwa famous.

2. Sprouted Wheat Flour (Anguri)

Traditionally, recipes use sprouted wheat. First, it is dried well. Then, it is ground into flour. As a result, this gives the halwa its special feel. Additionally, it also adds good health value.

3. Best Dry Fruits

For example, we use Walnuts (Akhrot) which are full of good fats. Also, we use Almonds (Badam) which are healthy. Next, we add Cashews (Kaju) for a creamy taste. Finally, Pistachios (Pista) add a nice color.

4. Whole Milk

Clearly, full-fat whole milk is a must. Consequently, it creates the creamy feel and rich taste.

What You Will Need

For the Flour Mix: First, you need Sprouted Wheat Flour (Anguri). Second, you need Refined Flour (Maida). Third, you need water to make the base.

For Cooking: First, use 2 liters fresh whole milk. Next, have 1 cup sugar ready. Then, use pure desi ghee. Finally, keep Green Cardamom (Illaichi) powder ready.

How to Make It

Step 1: Prepare the Base

To begin, mix Sprouted Wheat Flour and Refined Flour with water. Carefully, mix it well so there are no lumps. Basically, this liquid mixture is your starting base.

Step 2: Add Milk and Cook

Next, put the mixture on the heat. Immediately, add the fresh milk. Continuously, stir it while it cooks. Patiently, wait for the “dana” (grain) to form. Eventually, the water will start to dry up.

Step 3: Add Sugar and Ghee

When the water is almost dry, add the sugar. Then, add the pure desi ghee. Continuously, stir it constantly to roast the halwa. Importantly, keep cooking until the ghee separates and the halwa leaves the pan sides.

Step 4: Final Touch

Now, turn off the heat. Immediately, add the Green Cardamom (Illaichi) powder for smell. Gently, mix it well.

Step 5: Add Dry Fruits & Serve

If you are making Mix Dry Fruit Halwa, add the dry fruits now and mix. However, for other varieties, keep the halwa simple inside. Then, pour into molds. Finally, top with your specific dry fruit (Walnut, Almond, etc.) and let it set.
