ATTE KA SHEERA, WHEAT FLOUR SHEERA

IFC challange # 3 hosted by Manjula Kanted has selected Marwari cuisine.  The recipes were either a platter of kachori or halva or a combination of one kachori and one halva or the Rajasthani Thali.  Since the Marwari cuisines are of bit spicy, I did not dare to prepare the same as we do not eat very spicy items.  However, will be trying one by one later as my friend is a Marwari and  can share with her.

Thanks Manjula  for the lovely recipes.

I have already posted Moongdal Kachori. Now is the time to post the halva.  Here comes the recipe - Atte ka Sheera.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup wheat flour
1 1/2 cup hot water
1/2 cup grated jaggery
3 tbsp ghee
chopped dry fruits for garnishing.

Method:

Heat ghee in a kadai.  add the wheat flour and keep on stirring till you get a nice aroma and the wheat flour becomes brown in colour.  At this stage, add the hot water little by little.  When you add the water, be careful as it is likely to sizzle and may splash.  Keep on stirring while adding water.  The whole water will be absorbed by the flour.  Now add the jaggery and cook  till the entire flour starts leaving the sides of the kadai.
garnish with chopped dry fruits.  serve hot or cold as you wish.
