Preparation
- Soak the wheat for four days. Change the water daily at least once a day.
- When the wheat is soft grind the wheat in the blender into a thick batter
- Pass the batter through a sieve and discard the skin of the wheat.
- Let the batter settle down, with batter at the bottom and the water at the top.
- Keep it in the fridge so that it does not ferment.
- Discard the water. Change the water daily. When doing so you need to be careful as the batter may also go with the water.
- After four days discard the excess water. Stir the batter.
- Take a flat bottomed pan. Keep it on the stove top. Add sugar and water to the pan. Keep stirring till the sugar melts and it forms a single thread consistency.
- Stir the wheat batter and add it to the sugar syrup. Keep stirring so that the batter does not get burned.
- Add the cashews and the saffron to the wheat batter and keep stirring.
- As the mixture leaves the sides of the pan add1/4 cup ghee and keep stirring.
- Once the halwa gets cooked the it leaves the ghee.
- Grease a pan and spread the halwa. Let it cook down to room temperature.
- Store it in a container and enjoy.
