| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Broken Wheat (Dalia/ Godumai Rava) | 1 cup |

Instructions
To create a delightful Wheat Rava Halwa, start by crushing the jaggery into fine pieces and setting it aside. In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the ghee over medium flame. Once the ghee is hot, add cashew nuts and fry them until they turn golden brown, infusing the oil with a rich, nutty aroma. Next, pour in sufficient water into another heavy-bottomed pan and bring it to a rolling boil. Carefully add the broken wheat (rava) into the boiling water. Cover the pan and allow the rava to cook until it becomes soft, ensuring it retains a fluffy texture and does not become mushy—this typically takes about 20 minutes, depending on the size of your rava.
Once the rava is cooked, incorporate the brown sugar and jaggery into the mixture. Allow them to melt and form a syrup, stirring continuously for about 5 to 8 minutes until the sweeteners are fully absorbed. Next, add the remaining ghee and mix thoroughly, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until the ghee is completely integrated into the halwa. Finally, sprinkle in the crushed cardamom powder and the fried cashew nuts, giving everything a good stir to combine all the flavors.
Turn off the heat and serve your Wheat Rava Halwa warm, either as a sweet conclusion to your meal or as a special treat for festive occasions. This comforting dessert not only satisfies your sweet tooth but also brings a touch of tradition to your dining experience. Enjoy!
