Instructions
- In a pan, heat the ghee (or oil) on medium heat.
- Add the singhara flour and roast it until it turns slightly golden and aromatic, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a separate pot, boil the water and add the grated jaggery. Stir until it dissolves completely.
- Slowly pour the jaggery water into the roasted flour, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- Add the grated coconut and cardamom powder, mixing well.
- Cook on low heat until the halwa thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan.
- If using, add chopped nuts and mix well.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
Tips
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of jaggery.
- Serve warm for the best texture.
