It is made with a lot of ghee, sprouted wheat flour, milk, saffron, a particular spice, and nuts and is cooked on a low flame. The nutmeg or jauz spice that is added to this halwa gives it a very distinctive flavour. The fact that this halwa has multiple layers of flavour and is low in sugar is its best feature. Here is a recipe for Jauzi Halwa that you can make at home
1 litre of full-fat milk ⅓ cup of sprouted wheat flour ½ cup of sugar ¼ tablespoon of ghee 1 tablespoon of cashews 1 tablespoon of pistachios 1 tablespoon of crushed almonds Orange food colour, optional ¼ teaspoon of saffron soaked in ¼ cup of Milk 2 whole nutmeg or jaiphal
Chop the nuts, soak the saffron in 1/4 cup of milk, and grind the nutmegs into a fine powder.
Heat a heavy-bottomed pan, add the milk, and the sprouted wheat flour. Combine thoroughly, and then stir occasionally as it boils.
Keep stirring constantly to achieve a granular texture as the milk begins to thicken and decrease.
Add the ghee, sugar, saffron mixture, food colour (optional), and nutmeg powder to the milk until it reaches the consistency of condensed milk.
Stir well, and cook for three minutes on low heat. Now, incorporate the chopped nuts while keeping some for garnishing.
For about 4-5 minutes, roast the halwa while stirring often, or until the fat separates.
Add chopped nuts and some pure ghee as garnish. Serve jouzi halwa.
