This morning, I woke up with a sudden carving for Indian sweet ! As I was stirring my oats for breakfast, I though why not use this to my all time favorite and easy to make sweet, Wheat Halwa. Trust me, this is so easy and quick to make that incase you have guests at home suddenly and want to impress them with your culinary skills, this is the trick !
Ingredients
Atta (Wheat flour) - 1 Cup
Sugar- 1 Cup
Water - 1 Cup
Ghee - 2 tsp
Pumpkin seeds - 1/3 cup
Sunflower seeds - 1/4 cup
Oats - 1/2 cup
Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp
Method
In a pan, add sugar, saffron and water. Let the sugar dissolve and water come to a nice boil.
Simantaniously, in another pan add ghee and add some cardamom powder to it.Then add the flour and oats and mix well and on a low flame, keep stirring it till the raw smell of the flour and oats goes away ! You can add more ghee if you want to.
Once the water boils, pour it directly into the flour and keep stirring so that there are no lumps. It might look watery but don't panic. As you keep stirring, the flour pulls in all the water and gives you that thick gooey consistency. Toast the pumpkin and sunflower seeds or you can directly just add them and stir it along with the halwa and use some to garnish as well. (Can secretly add another spoon of ghee while no one's watching ;) )
Serves - 5
I assure you, even if you are not a huge fan of oats, this will change your idea. You can also knock off the oats and the pumpkin/sunflower seeds and add just normal almond and cashew nuts to it !
