Shahi Aate Ka Halwa

Shahi Aate Ka Halwa is a scrumptious and delightfully delicious classic sweet dish ( dessert ) brimming with richness. It's just simply divine! It can be prepared and consumed on so many festivals and get-togethers. This yummy dish is made of whole wheat flour, ghee, sugar, nuts and khoya ( Indian milk solids ).

Atte Ka Halwa is a classic sweet dish that is a very popular speciality in North India. To make atte ka halwa, obviously, you need basic ingredients, but on top of that, you will require lots of patience, love and care. You can not prepare atte ka halwa in a hurry. If you make it in a hurry result will be sticky and raw and the taste will be awful.

You need to roast Whole wheat flour ( chapatti flour ) in lots of ghee on a very low heat until flour turns nice and brown ( not burnt ) and not only your house but your next-door neighbour's nose feels up with it's divine aroma:) Only well-roasted flour adds that delicious flavour and gives khasta ( flaky) texture to the Halwa.

My mum hardly made Semolina or Sooji ka Halwa, unless there was a Shri Satynarayan Puja performed in our family. She was fond of making proper atte ka halwa and that too with Khoya, The addition of the Khoya and generous amount of Nuts lends so much richness to this dessert. Traditional Aate ka Halwa is made without Khoya.

Aata Halwa, can be prepared anytime, some people love to devour this on an ordinary day at breakfast time, but mostly this dessert is prepared and offered as prasad to deities on religious festivals like Raksha Bandhan, on Asthami and Navmi feast during Navratri, Ganesh Chaturthi, Bhaidooj and many more. Or simply serve as a Shahi dessert after having traditional or exotic Indian meal, believe me this sweet dish makes you feel that you belong to a royal family !!

Now that the Indian festival season is in full swing, there are so many upcoming occasions that are waiting for you to celebrate. There will be so much to indulge in - mainly rich and scrumptious Desserts or Indian sweets.  Nowadays I prepare traditional Indian dishes, so my kids and family can have a taste of my childhood and allow me to relive it at the same time!
