Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (maida)
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 cup ghee (clarified butter)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds, cashews, pistachios)
- 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
- 1/4 cup raisins
Directions
- Heat a non-stick pan on low heat and add the all-purpose flour (maida). Roast the flour until it turns golden brown, stirring continuously to avoid burning. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- In a separate pot, bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, carefully pour the hot water into the roasted flour while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Be careful as the mixture will sizzle and splatter.
- Continue to stir the mixture until it thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the ghee (clarified butter) to the pan and mix well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Add the chopped nuts, cardamom powder, and raisins to the mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the halwa reaches a thick consistency.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
