    Should we mix coconut water and cornflour before turning on the stove?

    Yes, always mix well and make sure the mixture is lump-free, then cook the halwa

    Should I cut the halwa into pieces?

    Yes, you can cut into pieces or serve the halwa I a bowl. Depending on your preference, cook the halwa for an additional time 

    Can I reduce sugar?

    Yes, adjust according to your taste, also based on the tender coconut's sweetness

    Can I use tender coconut water instead of regular water 

    I prefer using regular water as it blends well with sugar easily. 

    Can I use Food coloring?

    Food color is optional. For Elaneer halwa, I prefer the glossy transparent color, so I don't use food coloring. Use the food color of your choice.

    Amount of ghee

    Since we used corn flour, it doesn't require much ghee. If you are using other flours like almond or cashew, increase ghee accordingly. 

    Should I roast tender coconut?

    Roasting tender coconut is optional for halwa. You can directly add them to the halwa.

    Add-ons

    To retain the coconut water flavor, I added a tiny pinch of cardamom powder. excess add-on flavoring, like saffron, nutmeg, might dominate the flavor

    Shelf life

    Since we used coconut water,I recommend finishing the halwa in 2/3 days.

    Chewy ilaneer halwa

    For chewy halwa, cook for an extra 20 minutes on medium flame till ghee comes out completely and halwa turns stretchy. The more time you cook, the more chewy and hard the halwa will be.
