Soak the cleaned fenugreek  for at least 4 hours ..Then wash properly ,pressure cook till done by adding enough water ..6 whistle is enough .. When the pressure settle down open the cooker  and allow to cool.When cool , add small portions of cooked fenugreek  in a blender and grind(not that well ) ..Keep a side …

Boil 2 cup of water and add jaggery into it..Allow to melt …When the jaggery completely dissolves in water turn off the gas and allow to cool ..When cool strain it …

Now grind  mustard seeds,cumin seeds and turmeric together by adding small portion of water

Extract 6-7 cups of  coconut milk from 3 coconut in medium consistency ..

Now take a deep bottomed kadai and add all the ingredients we kept aside ..That is ground fenugreek,mustard-cumin-turmeric mix,jaggery,2 serving spoon of roasted rice powder(use for idiyappm) and coconut milk ..Add one pinch of salt oo ..Mix all these well …

Now switch on the fire allow to boil stirring well all the time ..Its a bit tough job dear readers but the result is too good …!! so plz keep on stirring ….Stir until the oil clears out and the mix to attain a thick mass..Its safe to use a non stick kadai…It will take 45 minutes  to 1 hour …In the final stages u can  see the mix leaves from the side of the kadai..Take a small portion and press between ur fingers and form a ball ,if the ball is non sticky then ur halwa is ready …That time the colour will be brownish black…U want the consistency to be more tight then u can stir some more time  ..When u feel it reached ur type ,take a plate and pour the halwa into it and level the surface and keep aside to cool..

When cool cut into desired shape and enjoy ur fenugreek halwa..

Its got high medicinal value..My  grandma used to make this delicious halwa

Usually make this for new mothers after childbirth for increasing breast milk..And those want to gain strength and weight its very useful.We are using turmeric,cumin seeds and mustard seeds here ..Its all got high medicinal value..
