Atta (Whole Wheat) Halwa image

The inspiration for this halwa is the classic Sikh preparation called 'karha prashad.' This halwa has the addition of cardamom, raisins, and nuts. My kids love this halwa on a cold day as a snack after school.

Time 35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup ghee (clarified butter)
¼ cup cashews
¼ cup raisins
1 cup whole wheat flour
3 cups water
1 cup sugar
½ teaspoon ground cardamom

Steps:

  • Melt the ghee in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat; cook the cashews and raisins in the melted ghee until the raisins plump and the cashews are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the cashews and raisins from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the flour to the pan and roast till brown and nutty, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring the water and sugar to a boil in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves to make a clear syrup. Stir the cardamom into the syrup; slowly pour over the roasted flour, stirring as you pour to avoid lumps. Continue cooking until the halwa pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a serving dish and spread into an even layer; sprinkle the cashews and raisins over the halwa to serve.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my atta halwa didn't turn out right. It was too dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This atta halwa was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time. Otherwise, the halwa was easy to make and had a nice texture.
