How to Make Besan Prasad
HideShow Media1.
Take a heavy bottom wok /kadai and put it on your stove on a medium flame.
2.
In another vessel take your sugar and water put it to boil. Turn the flame off when the sugar has dissolved and the liquid comes to a fierce boil.
3.
In your wok add the ghee and then the entire gram flour.
4.
Keeping the flame on medium start stirring your flour+ghee mixture till you get a nice golden brown color and a nutty smell fills the air. Do not stop stirring the mixtures can burn within seconds.
5.
Once your flour has caramelized and has a beautiful golden colour in it - tip over your sugar syrup in it, be careful as it will blister and splutter initially.
6.
Slowly maintaining a low flame keep stirring for about another 5-8 minutes till the water evaporates and your halwa starts leaving the sides of the wok.

Serve hot! Enjoy.
Recipe Notes
Add cardamom seeds after you add your sugar syrup. Also add a few strands of saffron in your sugar syrup - the heat will extract the flavor and in cold weathers saffron gives heat to the body.
