Steps

15 min

1

Take a pan, add water and sugar in it and bring to a boil.
2

Take another pan and melt ghee in it. Once the ghee is melted, add flour and roast it on the medium-low flame, till it turns brown in colour and a sweet aroma is released. Keep stirring continuously otherwise the atta may burn. It should take good 8-10 minutes.
3

Once the flour has roasted well and achieved the dark brown colour add sugar syrup to the atta mixture and combine well. Keep stirring continuously while adding the syrup so that no lumps are formed.
4

Keep stirring the halwa till it thickens and become dense into a semi-solid, gooey form. The test of doneness of halwa is when it leaves the side of the pan.
5

Serve this Punjabi halwa hot. You can garnish it with chopped nuts.
