After trying the Kasi halwa and Karachi halwa I thought I will try Godhumai halwa | wheat halwa at home. I tried the halwa with wheat flour and it turned out pretty awesome. I just jumped out of joy and it tasted exactly like the Tirunelveli halwa which we get in shops. But homemade is always best right. So without waiting just go and try this halwa at home. I adapted the recipe from here. Very easy to prepare and has no complicated steps. Just have to stir patiently. You get glossy halwa. So go ahead and prepare this Godhumai halwa for this Diwali.

Kaju katli Milk peda Badusha
Method:
After 3 hours mix this nicely with hands and strain the liquid. Add one more cup of water and extract some more milk from the wheat dough. Discard the residue.
In a heavy bottomed pan, add 1 tsp of ghee and roast the cashew nuts till golden brown. Keep this aside. Add the extracted water (around 5 cups it came) to the pan and slowly start stirring it. Keep the flame low, high flame will spoil the halwa and will not get cooked. I first put in the normal pan which i use but since it was overflowing i transferred it to a big non stick pan. After 10 minutes the mixture will be like a porridge and start thickening.
Add the sugar now and mix the orange color with 1 tsp of water. Add this orange colour to the halwa. Stir well.
Add 2 tblsp of ghee and stir well in a low flame. From now on wards only stirring is the job. Just add the ghee(melted ghee) and add in between. Slowly the halwa will get a glossy texture.
Add the cashew nuts and the elachi powder. Stir nicely. The halwa will start coming like a jelly ball without sticking to the bottom. Switch off the gas and if you want you can pour this in a greased plate and cut them into pieces. I want to have this like halwa in a bowl. So didn’t spread in a plate.
Enjoy hot Tirunelveli Godhumai halwa.
