Atta halwa just reminds me of my childhood days when my grandmother used to sit on stool and make this for me. She was short and could not reach the gas and I used to snuggle to her tummy and taking in aroma which was coming and keep asking her when will it be done some 10 times. My grandmother would keep saying 2 min and her hands would be busy in making the halwa. Even today when I make it for my kids and they just love the same and the smell just rekindles those memory in my mind.
With people becoming conscious of health, ghee and sugar portions need to be controlled. So, in way I devised this no lump halwa and where you can control sugar and ghee portions without compromising on taste. Recently made the same for my friend with healthier version and she loved it.
Here it goes
Ingredients
- 1 cup Atta/Wheat flour
- 1 cup sugar but you can take little less (you can reduce if u want or replace with sugar free)
- ½ cup ghee (low fat version or u can reduce or increase as per taste)
- 1 tsp cardamom powder
- 2 cup water
- 2 tbsp mixed dry fruits chopped for garnish
Method
- Dry Roast the wheat flour till dark brown. Let it cool completely
- Mix sugar and water in a non-stick vessel and add the cooled wheat flour to it and cardamom powder
- Once it has mixed then switch on the gas and keep stirring it
- Add Ghee to the mixture depending on your need. Min of 3 tbsp gives you the good taste
- Keep stirring till it thickens and leave sides of the vessel
- Garnish with dry fruits and serve hot
Please enjoy the hot halwa and do share feedback on your version
