Wheat Pudding (Atta Halwa)
Atta Halwa, is a rich, velvety smooth halwa made with whole wheat flour, ghee, and sugar. This super indulgent treat is perhaps the simplest Indian dessert to make, that's ready in just 20 minutes! Atta halwa is one dessert which I grew up eating as my mom made it very often in her kitchen. This delicious dessert is made during festival seasons and offered as prasad. Atta ka halwa is one such traditional north indian sweet prepared especially during navaratras. it is mainly served especially during fasting. I enjoyed a tbsp of Halwa with hot Poori and Kala Chana.
The traditional recipe uses a ratio of 1:1:1:1, which means, for every 1 cup of flour (atta), you use 1 cup each of sugar, ghee, and water. In this recipe I have added 1 more cup of water that is 2 cup of water for making the Halwa more smooth. Firstly, do not alter the ratio of ghee, wheat flour, sugar and water (1:1:1:2) and it's very important to dry roast the wheat flour first before adding ghee as it makes the Halwa more flavorful. Additionally, use coarsely ground wheat flour to get nice texture. And, roasting the wheat flour in ghee on low to medium flame makes the Halwa aromatic and turn dark golden brown which means wheat flour has cooked completely.
You can customize it by adding some chopped dryfruits, Mawa or any flavour as per your taste and enjoy this indulgent dessert any time of the year. This luxurious halwa literally melts in your mouth.
