Ingredients

Kada Prasad / Atte ka Halwa / Gurdwara Prashad

Garnish (optional)

  • few almonds, chopped optional

Instructions

Make the Sugar/Water Mixture

  • Heat up a saucepan on medium heat, and combine water and sugar.
  • Mix until the sugar dissolves in the water. Do not boil it too long else you'll have a simple syrup. This will take a few minutes.
  • This is what you should have. Turn off the stove. Note: do not overboil the mixture. Set aside.

Make the Halwa

  • In a kadhai/wok, melt butter.
  • Once melted, add whole wheat atta. This process will take about 4-5 minutes.
  • Keep stirring the mixture nonstop.
  • The color will transform into a light mocha.
  • Once the color darkens slightly and bubbles form, move on to the next step.
  • Add the hot sugar/water mixture from above. The flour/butter mixture will start bubbling. Stir continuously for the next 5 minutes.
  • Keep stirring the halwa nonstop.
  • The halwa will now transform into one solid smooth mixture. The butter will ooze out slightly. Your Kada Prasad is done. Turn off the stove.

Serve Kada Prasad hot/warm.
