  4. Now add the ghee. Then add lemon juice. Keep stirring till the milk comes to a consistency shown in below.
  5. Now add the cardamom powder and mix well. Now hold the handle tightly and mix as the milk halwa becomes very thick.

2. Always use a thick and flat bottomed pan for making this halwa, so that milk thickens faster.
