Kada Prashad Recipe

Kada Prashad takes me to my childhood and gurudwara visits. When I grew up I had this urge to have atta halwa and then I learned this recipe which is very simple with a ratio of 1:1:1:3 for ghee:atta:sugar: water

 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup atta, wheat flour
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 cup ghee, clarified butter
  • 3 cup of water

making sugar solution

  • Take 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan or pot. add 3 cups water. Use a saucepan that has a handle as it helps to add sugar solution to the atta mixture in the later part of the recipe.
  • Keep the pan on the stovetop on a medium-low to medium flame.
  • Stir the solution so that all the sugar dissolves.
  • Heat this sugar solution until it begins boiling.
  • Once the sugar solution boils, then switch off the flame.
