Ingredients
- ½ cup besan | gram flour
- 2 tbsp sooji | rava
- ¼ + 1 tbsp cup ghee
- 2 tbsp milk
- ½ cup sugar or powdered jaggery
- ¾ cup hot water
- ½ tsp cardamom powder
- Few sliced almonds and pistachios
Instructions
- In a pan add ¼ cup of ghee and allow this to melt completely.

- Sooji | Rava gives a nice texture to the besan halwa, so do not skip this.
- Cook this in a medium flame.
- Cook for 6-8 minutes . The besan will get nicely roasted and start getting light and fluffy.
- You can smell the aroma of the besan | gram flour.
- At this stage, simmer the flame and add the milk.
- The mixture will loosen up a bit.
- Now add the sugar or powdered jaggery. I tried both and both turned out pretty well.
- Cook till the sugar melts.
- Keep the flame low.
- Now add ¾ cup of hot water.
- Mix well and cook till the water gets completely absorbed.
- Do not add more water, it will change the texture of the halwa.

- If needed add 1 tbsp of ghee in the last and mix well.
- Switch off the flame.
