Most importantly, Aate ka Halwa Recipe can be made with simple ingredients and all in a matter of a few minutes at home.

Down with fever? Or really not in the best of your moods? A bowlful of this ghee loaded halwa shall pep you up in no time, folks!

That’s the reason why it has been a family favorite since my childhood and I still enjoy it a lot.

For making it, all you need is some wheat flour, ghee, and sugar for sweetness and then you can generously top it with roasted or fried dry fruit slivers.

Tips for making the best Aata ka Halwa at home:

• Make sure that you use a proper portion of wheat flour and ghee because it would turn out dry if an adequate amount of ghee is not used.
• We need the perfect sweetness so add the necessary amount of sugar as per your taste.
• Go generous with dry fruits. Because nothing tastes as great as ghee, wheat flour, sugar all served piping hot with them.
• Make sure to keep stirring continuously while roasting the flour and do it on medium-low heat. This way the flour will not burn but brown evenly.
• Adding dry fruits mid-way roasting is my innovative step. The slightly roasted dry fruits give a very nice taste in each bit and you don’t have to roast them separately, making the process easier.
