AATE KA HALWA / AATE KA SHEERA

Atta halwa is one dessert which I grew up eating as my grand mom made it very often in her kitchen.

It’s a simple dessert made with atta (whole wheat flour), sugar and ghee. You only need these 3 basic ingredients to make atte ka halwa. This quintessential Indian dessert was a favorite growing up!

This atte ka halwa recipe is a Tasty melt in the mouth halwa and taste too good. the recipe is easy to make and can be made for any occasion or any day. It could be celebration, a festival or when you just want to have something sweet.

You can add dry fruits of your choice like almonds, cashews or raisins in the halwa.
