Wheat flour Halwa (Atta ka Halwa)

cipeIngredients:

Wheat flour - 1cup
Sugar - 1 cup (if u want more sweetness, then add 1 and 1/4 cup sugar)
Ghee - 1 cup
powdered Elachi - 1-2 tsp (optional)
cahshew nuts /Badam/Pista - 1 Tsp
Water - 3 cups

Method:

Heat 1/2 cup ghee in a pan, then add the wheat flour & fry.
Fry the wheat flour untill it becomes light brown color & nice aroma will come.(it looks like a puttu - uthir uthiriya irukkum)
Keep it aside & let it cool for some time.
Heat the pan, then add 1 cup of sugar & 3 cups of water.
Once the sugar got diluted, then add the fried wheat flour into it very slowly.
Mix it thoroughly and add the remaining 1/2 cup ghee to this & saute well..
Once the ghee started coming out of the halwa & the halwa should not stick in the pan, then switch off the stove.
At this stage add the elachi powder, fried nuts into the halwa & put the same in a greased plate.
Once it's cooled down,then cut into small pieces using a knife.
Now wheat flour halwa is ready to serve.
