Kadha Prashad (Attay ka Halwa)

Attay ka Halwa (Wheat Flour Pudding) is also known Kadha Prashad which we get in Gurudwara..  Whenever I make this halwa, it remind me of my days in India when me and my landlord’s daughter used to go to the Gurudwara every Saturday and enjoy the prashad.  Those were the days, when there was no stress nothing.  Reminiscing my childhood from 21 years back..

Today was Asthami, which is 8th day of Navratri when we the fast ends and all our princesses are treated like Goddesses.  We make kala chana, halwa & puri.  My mom used to make halwa out of semolina, but after I got married my mother in law used to make the one with atta (wheat).  I started making the wheat one too.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup atta (wheat flour)
• 1.25 cup sugar
• 3 cups water
• 1 stick + 2 tbsp soft unsalted butter

Directions:

In a pot add sugar and water and make a simple syrup.  Leave it on a medium heat until the sugar is dissolved.

In a pan or kadhai or a deep pot, add flour and butter.  Roast on a slow to medium heat stirring continuously so it doesn’t burn.

You want to roast the flour until you the flour is cooked and you get the lovely aroma.  The color depends on how dark you want after the water is mixed with it.  So roast until the color is one shade darker than what you want it to be.

After the flour has reached a desired color, pour the simple syrup into the flour and butter mixture and stir continuously until it thickens.

Turn the gas off.  Your halwa is ready to be served.  This is my mother in law’s fool proof recipe which will give you the same taste Serve hot along with your favorite dry fruit garnish.
