Preparation

• First combine the wheat flour and 1 cup water without lumps. The consistency should be pouring consistency. Leave this aside for 45 minutes.
• Now keep a non stick pan on the stove and make a syrup with jaggery and 1/2 cup water.
• When the syrup attains the one thread consistency, slowly add the wheat flour mixture by continuously stirring and keeping the flame in medium.
• This is the crucial step in halwa making.
• Slowly add the flour mixture otherwise you will end up forming lumps. Now start adding ghee little by little and continuously stirring.
• At the beginning the halwa completely absorbs the ghee and a point is reached when the halwa starts oozing out ghee.
• Now add the cardamom and the dry fruits(fried in ghee). Keep stirring for another 3 minutes and transfer into a serving bowl.
