Tips for making Atte ka halwa /Whole wheat flour halwa 

  • Roast the whole wheat flour without adding ghee on medium to low flame for atleast 10-12 minutes, by this method less ghee is required and all the wheat flour gets roasted nicely. many people use 1 cup ghee for 1 cup atta ,in this recipe by using this procedure of roasting i had used 1/2 cup ghee for 1 cup aata  and next time i m planning to make it with 1/4 cup ghee .  this halwa is not at all sticky with this procedure so why to increase calories!
  • Add ghee after the atta is completely roasted.
  • Boil sugar or jaggery in water and add this boiling water in the roasted atta with ghee.
