Jaggery halwa(gud ka halwa) (post natal dish)

 Jaggery or molasses is the good source of iron therefore it is better to use it as sweetening agent.Let us make halwa with jaggery
Ingredients
1/4 cup whole wheat flour(atta)
1/4 cup ghee(clarified butter)
1/4 cup grated jaggery
Mix jaggery and water in a pan and heat .when jaggery dissolves  and water starts boiling then remove from heat.
In a thick bottom pan pour ghee and wheat flour and put it on burner.Start stirring and roast atta till it turns golden brown.This will take 8 to 10 minutes.Now pour jaggery water and keep stirring to avoid lump formation.When halwa is ready then it will leave the sides of pan.Remove from heat and serve piping hot.
