Naturally Gluten Free - Rice Halwa

The recipe below would serve about 6 to 8 people.

Depending upon whether you are using regular rice flour or roasted rice flour, kindly follow the table below detailing the ingredients and their measures.

INGREDIENTS : Regular Rice Flour

INGREDIENTS : Roasted Rice Flour

METHOD 

• Take a heavy bottom kadai on slow to medium flame
• Add Ghee to the kadai and let it become warm to medium hot, NOT hot.
• Add your selection of nuts and let them fry a bit . They should not change color.

• Add the rice flour and start stirring it slowly but continuously to ensure uniform browning of the rice flour. Continue till the color changes to very light golden brown. 
• While you are doing this keep the water for boiling on the stove or an electric kettle. I find using  kettle a better option as the water along with some rice flour would splatter once the boiling water is added. 
• The step #3 could take about 20 minutes or so if using regular rice flour and 5 minutes or so if using roasted rice flour. Slow browning is the key to a satiating halwa.
• Once the rice powder has been evenly browned well, add sugar followed by the boiling water to be added slowly . 

• Be careful at this stage as to not burn yourself. Now bring the flame to high and as you add water slowly, continue to stir harder using a cooking spoon with long handle. 
• Once all water has been added, continue to stir without stopping (else there could be hard rice balls which don't get mixed up well.
• Continue till ghee starts separating and halwa leaves the sides of kadai.
