Quick and Sweet Halwa

This is a quick halwa that can be prepared in minutes when you have a desire to eat something sweet. Here is the recipe :

Ingredients ( this recipe will make for 4-5 people)

  1. 1 cup whole wheat flour
  2. 1 table spoon sooji ( to give halwa the coarse wheat flour feeling)
  3. 1 cup sugar
  4. 1/2 cup ghee
  5. 1 glass of hot water
  6. 1 tspoon of elaichi powder


Method

  1. Heat a nonstick pan on medium heat and pour ghee in it .
  2. Add the wheat flour along with sooji and keep roasting it. ( if roasting is not that easy u can add 1 table spoon more ghee. )
  3. Roast till the flour is of brown color and u will feel the aroma. (  stir it  continuously otherwise it will burn )
  4. Then add the hot water slowly , stir it carefully.
  5. After the water is absorbed , add the sugar.
  6. Let the sugar get absorbed, the halwa will start leaving the pan sides and u will see halwa leaving the ghee.
  7. Just add a little elaichi powder and its ready to eat.

Note: If u replace 1 cup of sugar with 1 cup of cut jaggery pieces , it will have a different taste. You can even make One glass of water with 1 cup of jaggery pieces and add the jaggery syrup directly instead of water and jaggery separately. I personally love the jaggery version of this halwa.
