RECIPE INGREDIENTS

» For Aate Ka Halwa

• 1/3 cup ghee
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1.5 cups hot boiling water
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
• 3 tablespoons chopped cashews and almonds, + 1 tablespoon for garnish

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» How to Make Aate Ka Halwa

1. Heat ghee in a non-stick or heavy-bottomed kadai over medium-low heat.
2. Add the whole wheat flour and stir well to combine.
3. Stir continuously and roast the flour over medium heat until it changes color and turns golden brown.
4. At this point, the roasted wheat flour should smell very aromatic, and the roasted flour would release the ghee.
5. Add hot water slowly to the roasted wheat flour. (The wheat flour mixture splutters, so be careful while adding water.)
6. Keep stirring to make sure that there are no lumps in the mixture. (At this point, the halwa mixture would turn into lighter shades.)
7. Keep stirring until the wheat mixture is golden brown again.
8. Add sugar and stir well to combine.
9. Keep stirring until the halwa loses the ghee again.
10. Add cardamom powder, chopped almonds, and chopped cashews and mix well.
11. Cook for 2 more minutes. The halwa is ready to serve.
12. Remove from heat and transfer it into serving dishes.
13. Garnish with chopped nuts and serve hot or warm.

RECIPE NOTES

1. Water should be boiling hot for adding to the roasted flour.
2. Be patient while roasting wheat flour for making halwa, because this halwa is always roasted on medium low heat, so it takes some time and a little effort. But all the efforts are worth it.
