Kada Prashad Recipe, Aate Ka Halwa, Wheat flour halwa

A quick, easy and delicious dessert made with wheat flour

Aate ka halwa is probably the most commonly prepared sweet in all the houses of Northern India. Its quick, easy and taste delicious .When ever you crave for some thing sweet or when a guests visits you suddenly then you can quickly make this yummy dessert to serve.

In Gurdwaras this kada prashad is offered to the devotees as prashad ,the only difference between the kada prashad and aata ka halwa we made at home is the amount of ghee used to make it,kada prashad have good amount of ghee while at home we can slightly adjust the quantity of ghee and sugar according to our preference ,but Today I am sharing the exact measurment to make kada prashad which is offered at Gurudwaras.

If possible try to use coarse wheat flour to make halwa ,it gives a nice texture but regular wheat flour can also be used to make it, Addition of dry fruits are optional As nuts are not used in kada prashad but you can add if you wish,I usually add only cardamom powder to flavour it.

For Diwali you can also make Gajar ka halwa , Badam halwa , kalakand  , Gulab jamun recipes

For a perfect aata halwa the wheat flour should be roasted on low flame ,if you roast it on high heat to fasten up the process then it will effect the taste so avoid high heat roasting ,while adding the sugar syrup mix it quickly to avoid the formation of lumps ,and even if you do got lumps then use a whisk to mix it quickly.
