  1. 1

    Melt ghee in a pan. Add flour and stir-fry continuously for 10 minutes on low heat. If you find the mixture very dry, please add more ghee. You need to have a more liquid and less dry mixture.

  2. 2

    Fold in the cardamom powder, mix well and add the sugar. Once again mix thoroughly. Now again if the mixture is dry, you have to add more ghee.

  3. 3

    Stir-fry for 5 minutes then add the water and mix well. Do not increase the heat. Cook till the halwa coats the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes more). Serve hot or chilled as you like.
