Share:
Ingredients
- 1 cup atta (whole wheat flour)
- ½ cup ghee (clarified butter)
- 1 cup sugar or as required
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon whole cashews (kaju) - optional
Instructions
- Heat the ghee in a heavy bottomed kadai or pan.
- Add whole wheat flour to the hot ghee and start roasting it.
- Meanwhile, take sugar and water in another pan.
- Keep this pan on a medium to high flame and let the solution come to a boil.
- Fry the atta stirring continuously till its color changes and you get the aroma of roasted whole wheat flour.
- Keep on stirring the flour to ensure even browning.
- In the meanwhile keep your eyes also on the sugar solution.
- If the mixture starts to boil, then lower the flame and let it simmer.
- The atta or whole wheat flour should turn golden and give a good fragrance. Plus also begins to release ghee.
- Increase the flame to high for the sugar solution to bubble and when it starts to bubble in a matter of seconds, immediately add it to the hot atta mixture.
- Be careful as the mixture has the tendency to splutter.
- Continue to stir with all your hand force, so that no lumps are formed.
- Atte ka halwa will absorb water and continue to thicken quickly.
- Keep on stirring. So that lumps are not formed.
- When wheat halwa is semi thick or thick like a sooji halwa, switch off the fire.
- Serve atte ka halwa hot or warm.
Notes
- The sugar solution needs to be hot when you add it to the roasted atta mixture.
- There are no thread consistencies formed in the sugar solution. The sugar solution just needs to come to a boil.
- Use thick bottom kadai so that the atta does not get burnt.
- You can use regular sugar or organic sugar. You can even use jaggery powder.
- If you want to add kishmish (raisins) then add at the very end when the halwa is almost done.
- Instead of cashews you can also add almonds in the halwa. You will need to fry the almonds just like we have fried cashews.
- If you want to add pista (pistachio), then add them where you have added fried cashews in halwa mixture. No need to fry pista, they can be added directly.
- Keep both the pan on two burners simultaneously. So that once the flour is roasted, the sugar solution is also hot.
- Roast the atta on a low to medium-low flame.
