How to Prepare

  1. Heat 2 cups of ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.
  2. Add 5 cups of whole wheat flour (atta) to the ghee and stir continuously to avoid lumps.
  3. Roast the flour for 15-20 minutes until it turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma.
  4. In a separate pan, heat 10 cups of water and dissolve 5 cups of sugar to make a syrup.
  5. Gradually add the sugar syrup to the roasted flour mixture, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
  6. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the halwa thickens and starts leaving the sides of the pan.
  7. Add 2 teaspoons of cardamom powder and mix well.
  8. Garnish with 1 cup of chopped nuts (almonds, cashews, pistachios) and serve hot.
