GEHU (wheat flour) Halwa

So as a kid
My family cooked a lot of Suji halwa …
But “Gehu” or “whole wheat flour “ halwa is something I tasted , for the first time after a langar ( a communal free kitchen , by the Sikh community)
I learnt this recipe from my friend Richa ,who also runs @ambiyafoods empowering marginalised women , to learn their own livelihood …
On that nippy afternoon in Kasauli, post having a second lunch , the halwa made in Richa’s Kitchen , was just what I needed
Here is my “tweaked” recipe of “GEHU HALWA”
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup- Ghee or clarified butter
Whole wheat flour- 1 cup
2 cups water
1/2 cup + 2 heaped tbsp - jaggery
1/4 tsp - cardamom powder
A handful of almonds or “badam” , toasted and slivered
A bunch of dried raisins or kishmish , fried in ghee
Please do try this recipe ..
And a very very Happy & Blessed Diwali
To all of you scrolling through my page ..
Stay happy and well fed ..
Much love 🪔🪔🪔
