Cue Up The Episode!

1. Make sure to listen to Karishma on The Storied Recipe Podcast, Women Are the Makers while you make her Atta Halwa recipe!

Sugar Syrup

1. In a pot, bring water and sugar to a boil, just until the sugar dissolves, then remove from heat. The idea is to just dissolve the sugar, not reduce it. Set aside.

Cook The Atta and Ghee

1. In a heavy-bottomed pot (See Note 1) heat the ghee and add the atta. Cook on a slow flame ((or medium-low heat if you have an electric stovetop) until the color gradually changes to golden brown.
2. [CAUTION: Be very careful during this next step. VERY SLOWLY add the syrup from a distance (wear mittens as a precaution), as the pan will be very hot, and adding water to it may cause hot steam or sputter hot water on you].
3. Once it turns golden brown, add the sugar syrup to the port and continue to cook on a slow flame until the atta absorbs all the water.
4. Cook (this might take a little while but be patient) until the ghee oozes out of the sides of the halwa.
5. Once the texture becomes sandlike, don’t leave it unattended and stir continuously. It can burn very fast and become dark brown (you don't want this). You will know it is done when it turns a golden-near-brown color.
6. Serve hot and enjoy!
