Ingredients

• 50 gms Water Chestnut Flour /Singhara ka Atta
• 25 gms Desi Ghee
• 50 gms Gur/ Jaggery
• 2 Green Cardamom crushed or powdered
• 1.5 cups Hot water or milk whatever you prefer
• Handful Almond and Pistachio Slivers (optional)

Steps

1. Heat Ghee in a pan, add the flour and roast it till nutty aroma comes and the flour changes color.
2. While roasting it in ghee add the almond pistachios slivers (keep aside few for garnishing) and cardamom and continue stirring for few minutes. If needed lower the heat/flame. Add 1 cup hot water or milk and continue mixing and stirring so that there are no lumps, press and break the lumps if any.
3. Again add half a cup of hot water and jaggery too, keep mixing in a low flame so that it doesn’t burn and cook for 5-10 minutes, as the jaggery melts, cook till it reaches your desired consistency. Don’t over dry it as the halwa cools it will solidify a bit. Once done, eat while still warm. Garnish with more nuts slivers if you desire. Enjoy ! Happy fasting !
