Ingredients
- 1/4 cup wheat flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup + 1/8 cup water
- 1/8 cup ghee
- a tiny pinch cardamom powder
- 5 nos almonds sliced
Instructions
- Measure ghee and transfer it to a pan and heat it up.Just heat it up for few seconfs then add wheat flour and start roasting.
- Keep roasting for at least 20mins (its better to keep an eye at the timing). Then add water (1/2 cup + 1/8 cup).
- You should be very quick now. Use a whisk and mix it well. It will get cooked very quickly and gather into a mass.
- Once everything gathers together without sticking, add sugar.
- The sugar will start to melt and the whole mixture will turn slightly gooey.
- Keep stirring until it becomes shiny and leave the sides of the pan.
- Add remaining 2 teaspoon ghee, cardamom powder and give a quick mix.
- Finally add chopped almonds and switch off.
- Serve Atta Halwa hot / warm.
Notes
- Do not lose patience while roasting, that is the main step involved so keep roasting for 20mins in low flame.
- I lowered the flame while adding water, gave a quick whisk -this is to avoid lumps.
- Do not reduce ghee else the halwa will become sticky and will not yield the perfect taste and texture.
- You can even fry cashews in ghee and add it.
