Wheat Rava Halwa is a delicious sweet dish which is made with wheat rava, jaggery and cardamom powder. It is a popular prasad recipe for Sri Satyanarayana Swamy at Annavaram Temple located in Andhra Pradesh. I gave a little twist to the recipe with combination of brown sugar and jaggery.
Course : Dessert
Ingridients : 1 cup Broken Wheat (Dalia/ Godumai Rava)
1 cup Brown Sugar (Demerara Sugar)
1 cup Jaggery
1-1/2 tablespoon Ghee
1 teaspoon Cardamom Powder (Elaichi)
Instructions To begin with Wheat Rava Halwa, first crush the jaggery and keep it aside. Heat ghee in a pan and then fry the cashew nuts until golden brown.Take water in a heavy bottom pan. Once water starts to boil, add the wheat rava in a pan.Cover and cook till the rava is soft. Make sure that it should not be mushy. (it took 20 minutes for me to cook as my rava was a bit big)Add the sugar and jaggery to it. Let it melt and it will turn into a syrup form. This process will take about 5-8 minutes. Mix everything well till the syrup gets absorbed by the rava.Add ghee and mix everything again and cook for 2 minutes more until the ghee is fully absorbed.Add the crushed cardamom powder and fried cashew nuts. Turn off heat and it is ready to be served.Serve Wheat Rava Halwa as a sweet dish after your meal or prepare it during special occasions and festivals.
