Whole Wheat Halwa

 Ingredients

1/2 Cup Wheat kernel
2 Cups Sugar 
1 cup water
12-15 Cashews roasted in ghee
A few strands of saffron mixed in warm milk or water

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.
