Step-by-Step Recipe Instructions

Step 1: Roast the Flour

1. Heat the ghee in a thick-bottomed pan or kadai over medium heat.
2. Add the Singhara Atta to the melted ghee.
3. Roast the flour on low to medium heat, stirring continuously. This step is crucial; the roasting process should take about 8-10 minutes until the flour turns a light brown color and releases a nutty, aromatic smell. Be careful not to burn it.

Step 2: Prepare the Syrup

1. While the flour is roasting, heat the water (or milk) in a separate pot.
2. Add the sugar and the cardamom powder to the water. Bring it to a boil and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Keep this syrup hot.

Step 3: Combine and Cook

1. Once the flour is perfectly roasted, reduce the heat to low.
2. Slowly pour the hot sugar syrup into the roasted flour mixture, stirring vigorously and continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
3. The mixture will immediately thicken. Continue to stir until the halwa pulls away from the sides of the pan and the ghee starts to separate. This indicates the halwa is cooked.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

1. Remove the halwa from the heat.
2. Garnish with chopped dry fruits and serve it warm.

Tip: For an extra rich flavor, you can fry the dry fruits in a teaspoon of ghee before garnishing. Enjoy this tasty and energetic falahar
