Ingredients
 

  • ½ cup wheat flour
  • ¼ cup rava
  • ¼ cup besan
  • ¼ cup gond
  • 2 tbsp almond slits
  • 2 tbsp cashews slits
  • 2 tbsp kismis
  • 1 cup melted ghee
  • 1 cup jaggery
  • 2 cup water
  • 1 tsp cardamom powder
  • 1 tsp dry ginger powder
  • ¼ tsp jayphal powder

Instructions

  • Take 1 cup flour mixed with ½ cup wheat flour, ¼ cup rava, and ¼ cup besan. Keep it aside.
  • Now, in a pan, take 2 ladles of ghee from 1 cup ghee. Add ¼ cup gond and fry it on low-medium flame until the gond is completely puffed up. Remove it onto a plate and set it aside.
  • Next, add 2 tbsp almond slivers, 2 tbsp cashew slivers, and 2 tbsp raisins. Roast on a low flame and remove onto a plate.
  • Then, add 2 ladles of ghee to the pan, add the flour mixture, and roast it on a low flame.
  • Gradually add the remaining ghee and roast the flour on a low flame until it turns a biscuit-golden brown color and becomes aromatic.
  • In another pan, add 2 cups of water and 1 cup of jaggery. Mix well and cook until the jaggery completely dissolves.
  • Pour the jaggery water into the roasted flour mixture and mix well.
  • The flour will absorb the water completely. Add the remaining ghee along the sides and roast the sheera on a low flame until it starts to release ghee and leaves the sides of the pan.
  • Finally, add the fried gond and dry fruits. Also, mix in 1 tsp cardamom powder, 1 tsp dry ginger powder, and ¼ tsp nutmeg powder. Mix well.
  • Gond halwa is ready. Serve it or store it in an airtight container.
