Godumai(wheat) Halwa

Ingredients :

Whole Wheatgrains - 1 cup
Sugar - 2 cups
Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp
Ghee - 5 tablespoons
Saffron - 1 pinch
Nuts roasted in ghee-garnish

Method :

1.Wash and soak the wheat grains in water for 24hrs.
2.Then drain wheat and add 1 cup of water and grind in mixie. Strain through a sieve to get the thick milk. Add another cup of water and grind it for another 2 mins. Strain and repeat process till you get the husk left behind. It took me about 5 times.
3.Heat a heavy bottom pan or Kadai. Add the sugar and the milk and cook on slim. Its very important to cook in sim, else it will get lumps.You got to keep stirring continuously, until the milk starts thickening.
4.Add the saffron and cardamom powder. Then add the Ghee. Keep stirring and cooking on sim. Its done when you can roll the halwa into a ball.
5.Add roasted nuts to it.
If you want a thick halwa like what we get in sweet shops, add more sugar in place of 2 cups.
