:: How to make Wheat Halwa
Extracting milk from wheat: Soak wheat for 2 nights. Grind
in grinder adding
water occasionally. Place a piece of cloth inside a sieve
and pour the gound wheat
on it and collected the filetred milk in a vessel. You may
grind the same wheat
again once or twice until the entire milk is
extracted.Leave the extracted milk for
one hour. The thick milk will settle down and water liquid
will stay on top. Remove
the dilute portion by pouring it out. Measure the quantity
of this milk. The amount
of sugar should be three times that of this milk.
Make sugar syrup by heating sugar and water in the ratio
1:1 until it becomes a
think liquid. Pour the milk in the syrup and keep
stirring. Boil 3 cups of water
separately. When the mix becomes quite thick, add water in
steps of 1 cup every
time the mix becomes thick until the halwa is well cooked.
Add ghee, saffron and
keep stirring.When the ghee begins to separate, add
cardamom powder and
remove from flame. Pour this in a large plate. Roast a few
cashewnuts in ghee
