Hello Foodies!
Atta (Wheat Flour) halwa is a popular dessert prepared in North India. It is commonly used as a prasad (religious offering) among the Sikh community, in Gurudwaras. This recipe is melt in the mouth and can be made for any special occasion. It could be a celebration, a festival or when you just want to have something sweet. I made it today because I wanted to have something sweet.
The key here is using the ingredients in the right proportion. If you change the ratio of the ingredients, it won’t give that consistency. So keep in mind the ratio every time you make it. Also, you can choose to garnish with nuts of your choice.
Let’s see how we make it.
