Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp pure ghee
  • 3/4 cup wholewheat flour aatta
  • 1 1/2 cup water
  • 120 gm jaggery
  • 1 tsp cardamom powder
  • 10 cashews chopped

Instructions

  • Heat water along with the jaggery till the jaggery melts and dissolves. Do not boil the water since we just need the jaggery to melt. Set aside.
  • In a non-stick pan, heat 2 tbsp ghee. Roast the wholewheat flour till it turns golden brown and released a nice aroma, approximately 6-7 minutes. Make sure not to burn the flour, keep stirring continuously.
  • Once roasted, add the jaggery water and stir vigorously till well incorporated. Ensure that there are no lumps.
  • Cook for another couple of minutes on low flame and switch off.
  • In a small fry pan, add the remaining ghee. Fry the cashews briefly and pour over the halwa. Enjoy!!!

Notes

I used block jaggery. I just put the jaggery into the water, heated the water - did not boil - and closed the lid. This melted the jaggery. You can grate and add into water, so that it gets melted easily.
