Rava - Tender coconut pulp Halubai. (Rice Halva)

READY TO SERVE RAVA HAALUBAI.

Haalubai is a sweet dish. It is something like Halva and it can be prepared using, raw rice, wheat or even Ragi  ( Finger Millet). Haalu bai is so soft and melts in your mouth.
Fresh or tender coconut, jaggery, cardamom and rice all these ingredients are grind together and mixed well ( Stir) for some time until it gets thicken. The stirring process is done till it thickens. Adding little by little ghee will enhance the taste and it is one of the healthy food I can say. As I said earlier it can be prepared using any one of the following grain like wheat, (whole or powdered), Raagi (whole or powdered) and rice.
I have used tender coconut pulp along with fresh coconut and it has added a flavour to Halubai. Instead of rice I have used this time Medium sized Rava. Roasted rava slightly and added the ground coconut and jaggery with cardamom.
Rava (Semolina) is better than rice though it contain carbohydrates. 
This is an easy recipe and anybody can try this Rava Haalubai and enjoy eating as snack or munch any time of the day.
