During winters we all like to eat warm dishes . I am a spice lover but once in a while I do like to treat my self with some delicious traditional sweets. Atta / Wheat Flour Halwa is one of them . Today I am sharing a absolutely lip smacking warm halwa recipe. You will definitely fall in love with it. It is very aromatic and quick to make. I make small portions to treat my family.
What is the theme for Shhhhh Cooking Secretly?
This month our hostess is Rafeeda AR who is an amazing blogger and has a wonderful collection of Malabar and Emirati recipes on her blog. I love her Lotus Milk Cake recipe. She suggested the theme “Warm Desserts”. I am paired with Sujata Roy who gave me two secret ingredients Almond and Cardamom. I gave her Ghee and Moong Dal and she whipped up Incredible Moong dal Halwa.
Ingredients for Atta / Wheat Flour Halwa:
Whole Wheat Flour: I have used Pillsbury atta or wheat flour. You can use any brand atta you prefer.
Coconut Sugar: I have used coconut Sugar. You can replace it with raw sugar or brown sugar. I don’t use refined sugar.
Ghee:Do not skip ghee. It gives a nice aroma and taste to the dish.
Desiccated Coconut:Coconut adds a nice texture to the halwa and also makes it tastier. You can skip it if you don’t like coconut.
Chopped Almonds:Add dry fruits of your choice. I love Roasted almonds and added them.
Cardamom Powder: No halwa is complete without cardamom powder. Gives a nice aroma.
