  2. Cook the wheat flour over low to medium heat to attain a golden brown colour without compromising flavour, preventing any risk of burning.

  3. Adjust the quantity of sugar based on your sweetness preference.

  4. The Halwa tends to solidify as it cools, so if needed, you can reheat it before serving.

  5. Atte ka Halwa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat it gently before serving.

  6. The number of servings may vary based on the portion size served.
