Recipe
1
Soak whole wheat in water for 12 hours, then grind and extract thick milk.
2
Allow the extracted wheat milk to ferment slightly for 4 hours and discard the top water layer.
3
In a heavy-bottomed pan, combine the thick wheat extract, sugar, and a portion of ghee, cooking on medium-low heat.
4
Continuously stir the mixture while gradually adding remaining ghee as the halwa absorbs it and turns translucent.
5
Fry cashews in ghee and fold them into the halwa along with edible camphor once it leaves the sides of the pan.
6
Serve warm alongside a fresh cup of traditional South Indian filter coffee.
