Gram flour Halwa (kadalai maavu alvaa)

Happy Diwali to all Readers !!

I am going to give the recipe of Gram Flour Halwa

Ingredients :

Gram Flour (Besan) - 1 cup (sift before using)

Sugar - 1 cup

Ghee - 2 or 3 tbsp

Crushed Almonds - 2 tbsp

Water - 1/4 cup

Kesar / orange colour- 2 drops

1. In a thick bottomed pan, heat the ghee and fry the gram flour well, till the raw smell goes.

2. After the raw smell of besan goes, add sugar to it and mix.

3. Immediately add the water and mix the besan well without lumps. 

4. After it changes colour and is cooked, add the crushed almonds and kesar colour  and mix.

5. Now add 1 tbsp ghee to the mixture  and  keep mixing.
6. When the halwa does not stick to the pan, transfer it to a plate greased with oil or ghee.

Instead of serving this halwa with spoon or trying to cut into pieces (which is difficult), you can make small balls out of it or wrap it in butter paper , like we do for badam halwa .

Happy Diwali once again .... to all my valuable readers!
