This is a sweet I have been wanting to try but always got nervous about how much of the flour I had to roast and if lumps were formed. But thanks to one of my Sindhi friends, this recipe is full proof, never failed me and was an absolute piece of cake! Generally this prasad is made on Gurupurab day by Punjabis and Sikhs, but I usually make this when I do not have enough time to make an elaborate bhog for God. You can also see the different stages of roasting the flour in my pictures below. (Pls excuse me for placing the picture the other way from the last stage to the first)
Cook Time: 15 mins
Ingredients
1 cup Wheat Flour
2 cups Water
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Ghee
Slivered almonds (optional), for garnish
Instructions
In a pan, take water and sugar and bring to a boil, keep aside
In a non stick pan (preferably the pan in which you will make the halwa) add the ghee and the wheat flour and start cooking it till you get a flowing consistence and the mixture turns light brown (you will know with the aroma)
Add the sugar mixture slowly, keep the flame low and stir continuously till it becomes thick (approximately for 8 minutes)
Garnish with almond slivers or have it just as is
