Instructions

MAKE SUGAR MIXTURE

  • Combine sugar and water in a pan.
    Boil sugar and water
  • Stir in eliachi powder and whisk to combine.
    add Cardamom powder
  • Bring this mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves. Once done, remove the pot from heat and set aside.
    Sugar syrup

PREPARE ATTE KA HALWA

  • Add ghee to a heavy-bottomed pan. Turn the heat to medium-low heat and allow the ghee to melt. Add wheat flour to the melted ghee.
    Add ghee and flour
  • Combine the flour and ghee. Mix until the mixture becomes crumbly.
    Roast flour in ghee
  • Add another 2 tablespoons of ghee to the wheat flour.
    Add ghee
  • After adding an extra 2 tablespoons of ghee, the flour mixture will become runny. That's the consistency we are looking at.
    Cook Halwa inghee
  • Keep stirring wheat flour until the color changes from light brown to a deep golden brown - for about 8-10 minutes.
    Cook halwa until brown
  • Once the flour turns deep brown in color, turn the gas dial to the lowest setting. Gradually add the water, stirring continuously to prevent the halwa from turning lumpy. Be very careful, as the water will splash all over as it hits the warm halwa.
    Add sugar mixture to the pan
  • Increase the heat to the medium-low setting and simmer the halwa, stirring constantly until the water evaporates and the halwa starts to thickens. (Do not leave the halwa unattended at this point.)
    Cook until thick
  • Once the halwa thickens, take it off the heat. Do not cook the halwa for long. Cooking longer will result in dry halwa.
    Halwa is ready to serve
  • Serve hot.
    Serve hot

Notes

 
Can I add jaggery instead of sugar?
Of course, you can! Substitute sugar with an equal amount of jaggery, and the rest of the recipe remains the same. Just a note - the color of halwa will deepen because of the addition of jaggery. 
 
Can I add dry nuts to Wheat halwa?
You most certainly can! Feel free to add slivered almonds, raisins, pistachio for a boost of flavor. 
 
Can I use swap butter for ghee?
Absolutely! Use unsalted butter to make the halwa.
