Recipe
1
Soak the whole wheat flour in water for a few hours, extract the wheat milk, and let it ferment slightly before discarding the top water layer.
2
Melt the palm jaggery in water and strain the syrup to remove impurities.
3
In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat a tablespoon of ghee and roast the cashews until golden brown; set them aside.
4
Pour the extracted wheat batter into the heavy-bottomed pan, add the jaggery syrup, and whisk continuously on medium heat to prevent lumps.
5
Gradually add the ghee in small increments while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan.
6
Mix in the cardamom powder and roasted cashews, then transfer the halwa to a greased tray to set before serving warm alongside filter coffee.
