The festive season is round the corner and most of us like to make something sweet as Prasad on festive and other auspicious days like birthdays, anniversaries etc. We make a wheat flour Halwa ( Kanha Prasad ) which is simple to make , tastes great and generally loved by young and old. Here’s how I make it.
KANHA PRASAD or WHEAT FLOUR HALWA
Ingredients:
· 1 katori or cup wheat flour
· ½ katori or cup sugar
· ½ katori or cup pure ghee
· 2 katoris water
Procedure:
Mix sugar and water in a pan and heat. Bring it to a boil so that the sugar dissolves completely and turn flame off.
Put ghee in a thick kadai and heat. When hot, add the flour , reduce flame and gradually keep turning the flour and ghee mixture on low fame for 10 to 15 minutes, till the mixture is a rich golden brown in colour. Now slowly add the sugar and water mixture, constantly mixing it well so that there are no lumps. When most of the water has been absorbed , cover kadai with lid and cook on the lowest flame for a couple of minutes, till the ghee starts leaving the sides. Now the Halwa is done. Take out in an attractive serving bowl . In case you like , you can garnish the Halwa with almond flakes.
