Atta halwa recipe
Popular Kada prasad, wheat flour halwa recipe
Servings: 3
Ingredients
- ½ cup Wheat flour
- ¼ cup Ghee
- 1 and ¼ cup Water
- ½ cup Sugar
- few Cashew nuts
Instructions
- In a pan slowly melt the ghee in a heavy bottomed pan. Add the cashews to this and keep the flame low.
- Do not wait for the cashew to get roasted, add the wheat flour. Keep the flame very low and slowly start roasting the flour till it emits a nice aroma.
- This took 20 minutes for me. Do not lose your patience while roasting this, else you will not get it perfect.
- While roasting this keep an aeye on it all the time and never keep the flame high.
- Keep 1 and ¼ cup of water in a saucepan and allow it to boil. When the atta is roasted add the hot water to this. Carefully mix this without any lumps.
- Add in the sugar now and mix well. Switch off the flame. The halwa will come to right consistency now.
- Like rava kesari it will be watery after adding sugar.
- Mix well and cook for 2 minutes. It will come a right consistency.
- Atte ka halwa or atta ka sheera is ready.
- You can garnish with some sliced badam too.

Notes
1. Roasting the flour is most important. If not roasted well, it will not a raw smell and won’t taste nice.
2. Also the texture also won’t be perfect.
3. If you happened to get coarsely ground wheat flour, then use it for this halwa. It will be perfect.
4. If the atta is not roasted well it will get lumps after adding water.
5. For me it took 1 and 1/4 cup of water for 1/2 cup of atta. If you want you can add 1/4 cup of water more. It depends on the texture of the atta.
6. You can add 1-2 tblsp more sugar to atta ke sheera, if you want.
