Wheat Halwa is delicious and liked by all. I have been waiting to try this recipe. I thought it was difficult to make halwa before i make it. But now it is very easy to make halwa. So lets make Wheat Halwa today.



Ingredients:

     Wheat - 1 cup
     Water  -   5 cups
     Sugar  -  2 cups
     Ghee    - 3/4 cup
     Cashew nuts - few
     Cardamom powder - a pinch

Method:

1. Wash and soak the wheat overnight (6 hrs).

2. Drain the water and grind it with 1/2 cup water smoothly.

3. Filter it with a strainer.

4. Keep the collected wheat milk aside for 6 hrs.

5. Take a heavy bottomed pan and add 4 tspn of sugar and heat it on medium flame. Make sure you stir all the time. The sugar will melt and changes to brown colour.
