This is the traditional Gurudwara-style Kada Prasad, made with love and simplicity. The rich aroma of roasted atta blends beautifully with the sweetness of sugar and the luxurious texture of ghee. As the halwa thickens, it transforms into a silky, golden delight that leaves the sides of the pan effortlessly. Serve it hot to experience its authentic taste and smooth texture.
Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
Heat ghee in a pan on medium flame.
Add whole wheat flour and roast continuously. Stir non-stop to avoid burning.
Roast until it turns golden brown and you get a nice aroma.
Heat water and sugar in another pan until the sugar dissolves.
Slowly add the hot sugar water into the roasted atta while stirring quickly to avoid lumps. Be careful as it may splutter.
Cook for 1–2 minutes until it thickens and leaves ghee from the sides of the pan.
Garnish it with almonds, cashews, and raisins.
Always keep stirring to achieve a smooth texture.
Use equal quantities of atta, sugar, and ghee for an authentic taste.
Why is it important to keep stirring while roasting the atta?
Stirring continuously prevents the atta from burning and ensures even roasting, which is crucial for the flavor and texture of the halwa.
Can I use less ghee for a lighter version?
You can reduce the ghee slightly, but the authentic taste and texture come from using equal quantities of atta, sugar, and ghee.
What should I do if lumps form while adding the sugar water?
Quickly stir the mixture with a whisk or spoon to break the lumps. Adding the sugar water slowly while stirring helps prevent lumps.
Can I use jaggery instead of sugar?
Yes, you can substitute sugar with jaggery for a slightly different flavor, but make sure to dissolve it completely in water before adding.
How do I know when the halwa is ready?
The halwa is ready when it thickens, becomes glossy, and starts leaving the sides of the pan.
