Rajgira Halwa is a sweet made with Amaranth Seeds and is a popular sweet made during different festivals.
Next time you plan to make some halwa for Raksha Bandhan, this dish can surely be done. As the name says, this halwa is made just with Amaranth Flour and sugar with loads of ghee and nuts in it.
In my halwa series, I wanted to make sure I use as many whole grains and new grains to prepare the traditional halwas. And this one is typically made during festivals in Northern India.
As I was planning on my second week, thinking halwas are super easy to make, I just procrastinated. I didn’t account for how I will get the halwas consumed. Of course, I took to my office friends, still since a festival just passed us by, everybody were reluctant to eat so many sweets.
Finally I had to make this halwa and it was a hurried post. I was also planning on decking up these halwas with different colours, however everything ended up being brown.
So as part of Indian Halwas that I am making for BM#104 Sweets & Snacks, I have Rajgira Halwa, while its my favorite traditional Sweet in Spice your Life!
