Punjabi Kada Prasad Gurdwara Sacred Wheat Semolina Sweet

Method

1. 1

   Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a small pot.

2. 2

   Dissolve 1 cup sugar in it. Keep warm.

3. 3

   Heat 1 cup ghee in a thick-bottomed kadai on medium. Add the atta all at once.

4. 4

   Roast the atta in the ghee, stirring continuously without stopping, for 12 to 15 minutes until the atta turns a deep golden-brown and smells intensely nutty.

5. 5

   The stirring must not stop or the atta will burn at the bottom.

6. 6

   When the atta reaches the correct golden-brown colour and the nutty aroma fills the kitchen, remove from heat momentarily.

7. 7

   Pour the warm sugar water into the fried atta in a slow stream while stirring vigorously.

8. 8

   Stand back — the mixture will sputter dramatically as the liquid hits the hot ghee and flour.

9. 9

   Return to low heat. Stir continuously for 3 to 4 more minutes until the kada prasad comes together as a smooth, glossy, thick mass that pulls away from the sides.

10. 10

    Serve warm in small portions.
