ATTA HALWA/KADA
PRASHAD
Kada Prashad/Atta Halwa is the most divine sweet which you can find at Gurudwaras. I have always loved the kada prashad, during
my childhood while we were staying at Jabalpur I used to accompany a friend during her Gurudwara
visits just to eat the kada prashad.
It is very hard to replicate the divine taste of kada prashad/atte ka halwa given at gurudwaras
but I tried and must say made a fairly successful attempt at it.

1/2 cup atta/whole wheat flour
·
½ cup sugar
·
1/4th cup ghee/clarified butter

·
3 tbsp slivered almonds (optional)
Method:
On
a low flame, heat the ghee in a deep heavy bottom saucepan/vessel.

the atta/whole wheat flour to hot ghee and fry on a low heat. Keep stirring continuously to avoid atta

aroma arises and also the color of the atta changes slightly. It will take
approximately 5-7 minutes.
Simultaneously

Now
slowly start pouring is the hot milk sugar/water sugar solution to the roasted
