Kada Prasad or Aaate ka Halwa..(wheat flour halwa)!!

On the occasion of GurPurab(Guru Nanak ji bday) today...saw a lot of pictures coming through or being posted on various social media sites and apps....and then saw a small clipping of kada Prasad being distributed...reminded me of all the times we have been offered the prasad by our grandmother...whenever she used to return from the temple on special days...and of all those times too when at midnight or late nights specially in winters we use to trouble mom to make it at home...as having it steaming hot has its own charm.
My grandmother and my mother make this halwa superdelicious...grandmother had magic in her hands....and mom still will make it if I go to her at 1 am also and ask her to do so...
I remember once she literally went to the extent of making pure ghee(as there was not enough quantity left in the box) out of fresh cream at midnight and then using the same for the halwa...as we had asked her to make it that time and she could not say no to her daughters(how much did we troubled her I realise today)
When history repeats it makes you realise and remember all what you have done...as today I am also requested suddenly at night around 10-11-12 To make the same...and like mother like daughter , I also make it with the same enthusiasm for my family.
Coming to the recipe...its super easy,super quick and super delicious.

Ingrdients:

1 CUP pure ghee/butter
1 CUP wheat flour
1 and 2/3 cup sugar
3 cups water

Method:

Take a wok and a sauce pan...place them on 2 different burners...add ghee and flour in wok and start to roast the flour in the butter and in the pan make sugar syrup cook just until the sugar dissolves...meanwhile the flour has to be stirred continuously to avoid burning it but it has to be roasted until dark brown..pics below are the colours from starting to roast till well roasted

Sugar syrup

Now once both your things are ready then pour the sugar syrup in the roasted flour by one hand and stir fast but carefully (as its super hot and will splatter) and mix both well ..

You will notice with in 2-3 mins of mixing halwa will become smooth and silky and will start sliding over the wok leaving all the surface...its done then...serve hot (but only after waiting few minutes as immideately cooked is burning hot temp) 

Enjoy!! 

HAPPY GURPURAB!!
