Cooking Tips for Besan Halwa

 

If you are set on cooking besan halwa this festive season, these quick tips can help make the process easier:

 

  • The time spent roasting besan is quite important. This allows the flour to boost its nutty aroma and texture. However, keep a check on the time, as you do not want it to burn. 

  • If you enjoy your sweets a little less sweet, alter the sugar portion likewise. 

  • Use good quality ghee, such as the Aashirvaad Ghee to add the signature richness and flavour to the besan ka halwa. 

  • Once you achieve the required consistency and the ghee starts to separate from the halwa, quickly take it off the heat.
