Roast Flour:

Roast the flour in ghee, stirring continuously, until it turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma. This may take about 10-15 minutes on low heat. Be patient and keep stirring to avoid burning.

Add Sugar:

Once the flour is roasted to a golden colour, reduce the heat to low. Gradually add sugar (or sendha namak for a sweet and savoury version) to the roasted flour and mix well.

Add Milk:

Slowly pour in milk (or coconut milk for a dairy-free version) while stirring to avoid lumps. Keep stirring the mixture continuously to avoid any lumps and ensure that the halwa is smooth and creamy.

Add Flavours:

Add cardamom powder and mix it in for flavour. If you're using saffron strands, add them soaked in warm milk to the halwa for added flavor and a beautiful color.

Cook Properly:

Continue cooking and stirring the halwa on low heat until it thickens and leaves the sides of the pan. It should have a glossy appearance. Once the halwa reaches the desired consistency, remove it from heat.
