Kada Prasad, also known as Atta Halwa, is a sacred offering made in Gurudwaras — rich, smooth, and filled with devotion. Made using just four simple ingredients — whole wheat flour, ghee, sugar, and water. This prasad has a divine aroma and melt-in-the-mouth texture that symbolizes purity and gratitude.
Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
Melt ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan or kadai over medium flame.
Add whole wheat flour to the melted ghee and roast it, stirring continuously, until it turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma.
Once the flour changes color to brownish biscuit shade, dissolve sugar into the mixture.
Carefully add room temperature water to the pan while stirring continuously. Be cautious as it may splutter.
Stir the mixture well until it thickens, becomes smooth, and starts leaving the sides of the pan. Keep the flame low at this time.
Turn off the flame and allow it to rest for few minutes. Take out in a bowl, and garnish with dryfruits and dried rose petals.
Offer it as prasad or enjoy it hot, rich, silky, and full of blessings.
Use proportions of ghee, atta, sugar and water for authentic taste as 1:1:1:2 respectively.
Stir continuously on low flame to avoid lumps.
