Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare Jaggery Syrup

   In a saucepan, add 4 bowls of water (slightly less than full) and 1 bowl of jaggery powder. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then turn off the heat and cover the pan. Let the jaggery dissolve completely.

2. 2.Melt Ghee and Roast Semolina

   In a large pan or kadai, add 1.5 ladles of ghee and melt it over medium heat. Add 1/2 bowl of semolina and roast it on medium flame until it becomes fragrant and starts bubbling, ensuring its color does not change.

3. 3.Add Whole Wheat Flour and Roast

   Once the semolina is fragrant, add 1 full bowl of whole wheat flour and 2 more ladles of ghee to the pan. Continue roasting the mixture on medium flame, stirring continuously, until the whole wheat flour changes color slightly and ghee bubbles appear.

4. 4.Add Chickpea Flour and Roast Further

   Add 1/2 bowl of chickpea flour and 1 more ladle of ghee to the pan. Continue roasting the mixture, stirring constantly, until all the flours are uniformly roasted, the mixture turns a beautiful golden-brown color, and the ghee starts to separate from the mixture.

5. 5.Incorporate Cardamom and Nuts

   Add 1 teaspoon of cardamom powder to the roasted flour mixture and mix well. Then, add the almonds, pumpkin seeds, and raisins, stirring them into the halwa to toast slightly in the residual heat.

6. 6.Combine with Jaggery Syrup

   Reduce the heat to low. Gradually pour the hot jaggery syrup into the flour mixture while continuously stirring to prevent any lumps from forming. Mix until all the syrup is fully incorporated and the halwa starts to come together.

7. 7.Thicken the Halwa

   Increase the heat to high and continue stirring the halwa vigorously. Cook until the halwa thickens, absorbs all the liquid, and begins to leave the sides of the pan, indicating that the ghee has fully separated and the halwa has reached the desired consistency.

8. 8.Serve and Garnish

   Transfer the hot halwa into a serving bowl. Garnish generously with roasted cashews and serve warm. Enjoy this delicious and celebratory Triple Flour Halwa!
