How to make
Wheat Halwa is a delicious Indian dessert made from wheat milk, which is prepared through a meticulous process. First, soak wheat for 10-12 hours, then grind it with water until smooth. Strain the mixture through a cloth or sieve to extract wheat milk. Repeat the process to make certain all liquid is captured. Allow the extracted milk to ferment for 8-10 hours, after which the thick milk settles at the bottom.
The sugar and ghee are measured based on the milk quantity, with a ratio of 1:3:1.5 for milk:sugar:ghee. In a thick-bottomed pan, boil equal parts water and sugar, adding a teaspoon of milk to clarify the syrup. Gradually incorporate the ghee while stirring, allowing the halwa to absorb it. As it cooks, the ghee will start to separate. Finally, add cardamom and nutmeg powder. Transfer the halwa to a greased tray. Garnish with chopped cashew nuts for an added crunch. Enjoy this rich, aromatic treat!
