Ingredients:
- 1 cup wheat flour (also called atta)
- 1 cup ghee (clarified butter)
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 cups water
- A few strands of saffron (optional)
Instructions:
- In a heavy-bottomed pan, bring the water to a boil.
- In a separate pan, heat the ghee over low heat until it melts.
- Add the wheat flour to the melted ghee and stir continuously over low heat until the flour turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
- Add the hot water to the wheat flour and ghee mixture, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
- Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves completely.
- Add a few strands of saffron, if using, and continue to stir until the mixture thickens and begins to leave the sides of the pan.
- Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the mixture to a greased plate.
- Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, press the mixture firmly into the plate to create an even layer.
- Let the Kada Prasad cool for a few minutes, then cut it into small squares or diamond-shaped pieces.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips:
- Make sure to stir the wheat flour continuously while roasting it in ghee to prevent it from burning.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pan to prevent the mixture from sticking or burning.
- If the mixture becomes too thick, add a little more water to loosen it up.
- You can garnish the Kada Prasad with chopped nuts, such as cashew or pistachios, if desired.
