 This was a easy to make halwa with few ingredients and less ghee . It was tasty and can be easily made when unexpected guest arrives.

Requirements :

Wheat flour – 1 cup

Ghee – 3 tbs

Sugar – ¾ cup

Water – 1 ½ cup

Chopped almond

Method :

Melt the ghee and roast the wheat flour in medium flame.

Roast till the wheat flour becomes slightly brown in color. By this time , a nice aroma will comes from the roasted flour.

Add the water and mix well with the water without any lumps.

Keep stirring, take care not to burn.

When all the water are absorbed by the halwa , add the sugar and mix well.

The sugar will melt and dissolves well with the halwa.

If required can add another spoon of ghee at this stage and mix well.

Take off from the flame and sprinkle chopped almonds on top.

Serve warm or cold. I will suggest serving warm.

Wheat flour halwa is ready to serve.

Note:

Cardamom powder can be added for extra flavor.
