👩🍳 How to Make – Step by Step
⭐ Step 1: Roast the Besan
Kadhai me desi ghee garam karein.
Ab besan add karke low flame par lagataar chalate hue roast karein.
Ye step sabse important hai. Besan ko tab tak bhunein jab tak:
Colour golden ho jaaye
Aroma nutty aur sweet ho jaaye
Ghee alag dikhne lage
Is process me 20–25 minutes lag sakte hain, lekin yahi perfect besan ka halwa ka secret hai.
⭐ Step 2: Prepare Sugar Syrup
Alag saucepan me pani aur sugar daal kar 1–2 boil le aane dein.
Sugar puri tarah dissolve ho jaani chahiye.
⭐ Step 3: Combine Besan & Syrup
Ab dheere-dheere sugar syrup roasted besan me add karein aur continuously stir karein.
Dhyaan rakhein, flame low ho.
Halwa thoda liquid lagega, par ghabraiye mat—ye dheere-dheere thicken ho jaayega.
⭐ Step 4: Final Touch
Cardamom powder, saffron aur dry fruits add karein.
2–3 minute aur pakayein jab tak halwa glossy aur thick na ho jaaye.
Gas band karein aur thoda rest den.
