Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 6 tablespoon Ghee
  • 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 1/4 cup Water
  • 1/2 cup Sugar (can be decreased to 1/3 cup depending on taste )
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cardamom powder (Elaichi)

Instruction

  • In a saucepan or pot, add the water and sugar. Heat on medium-high flame until it comes to a boil. Turn off once there is a boil.
  • While the above step is going on, heat a pan on medium-low flame. Add ghee and let it melt. Then add the whole wheat flour. Roast it while stirring continuously until it starts turning golden. 
  • Keep stirring. It will take about 7-8 minutes to roast and get the perfect golden brown color and aroma. Do not stop stirring, as otherwise the data could burn. Add cardamom powder, and mix well.
  • Pour in water and sugar mixture, while stirring. Be careful as there will be some splatter when you initially start pouring, but that will stop once once of the mixture is added. You might need to stir vigorously, so that lumps do not form.  
  • The halwa will boil and thicken. Keep stirring for 1-2 minutes.
  • Once the halwa is smooth and leaving the sides of the pan, remove from flame. Optionally, you can garnish with nuts. Serve warm.
