Melt-in-the-mouth Atte Ka Halwa!

Ingredients

• Water – 1 cup

• Sugar – 1/2 cup

• Ghee – 1/2 cup

• Whole Wheat Flour (Atta) – 1/2 cup

• Salt – 1/8 tsp

• Cashews/Almonds for garnishing (optional)

Directions

• Bring water to a boil and add sugar to it. Boil it till the sugar dissolves. Keep it aside.
• Heat ghee in a pan and add the flour. Keep stirring continuously on low to medium heat till the flour has a nice and even dark golden-brown color and a sandy texture.
• At this stage, add the sugar syrup and salt and cook it till the flour absorbs the syrup and starts releasing ghee. It will leave the sides of the pan and will come together.
• Remove it to a serving dish and it can be had as-is. You can also garnish it with some chopped cashews and almonds, if needed.
