Recipe
1
Soak the whole wheat flour in water for a few hours, then extract the thick wheat milk by straining it multiple times.
2
In a heavy-bottomed pan, dissolve the grated palm jaggery in a little water and strain to remove impurities, then bring it to a gentle syrup consistency.
3
Pour the extracted wheat milk into the jaggery syrup, stirring continuously on a low flame to avoid lumps.
4
Gradually add the pure desi ghee in small intervals while keeping the mixture stirring constantly until it thickens and begins to leave the sides of the pan.
5
Mix in the cardamom powder and roasted cashews once the halwa attains a glossy, non-sticky texture.
6
Transfer the rich halwa onto a greased tray, let it set slightly, and serve warm alongside a steaming cup of fresh filter coffee.
