- Heat ghee in a kadhai or skillet. When the ghee has melted, add atta and stir.
- Keep roasting the atta, stirring regularly, till the color turns dark and the raw smell disappears (about 10 minutes).
- In another saucepan, mix the jaggery in 1.5 cups of water and heat it till the jaggery dissolves. Don’t boil. This will give you a thin, chocolate-colored liquid.
- Pour the jaggery syrup into the atta skillet – pour slowly from the sides to avoid splattering.
- Add crushed cardamom powder into the mix. Make sure there are no lumps, press with a spatula to break if any. Cook for another minute on low flame, stirring continuously.
- Place gur atte ka halwa into individual bowls. Slice almonds into slivers and sprinkle some over each bowl.
- Serve hot as dessert after an Indian meal, or as a standalone anytime snack.
