• When the flour gets roasted and a nice aroma starts coming out, add dry ginger powder and jaggery to it and roast it lightly. After this turn off the gas.
• Now put one spoon of remaining ghee in a pan and roast the chopped almonds and other nuts. Roast magaj seeds also.
• Add the remaining ghee to the prepared flour and turn on the gas. Also mix almonds, caraway seeds and other nuts well. In this way a thick texture will be prepared.
• After adding all the ingredients, add water to the prepared flour mixture and cook the halwa on low flame while stirring continuously until it becomes smooth. It starts getting slight transparency and shine and it stops sticking. Halwa is ready at this stage.
