Hariyali Teej is a time when festive sweets and vrat-friendly dishes become part of the food spread, and one of the singhare atta recipes is singhare ka halwa or sheera. It’s the perfect dish to break your fast with, and is a simple dish made with singhare atta, ghee, sugar and cardamom powder. Serve it as a sweet with ghevar and malpua, or have it after the fast with poori or plain for a filling meal. It is particularly useful for those planning a Hariyali Teej menu and looking at desserts.
For a Hariyali Teej vrat where food is permitted, singhare halwa can be served as a festive sweet alongside other vrat-friendly preparations. The halwa has a soft, smooth texture with a rich ghee flavour and a delicate cardamom aroma. Almond and pistachio slivers add a little crunch and make it suitable for a festive spread. However, fasting practices can vary, and some devotees observe a strict fast without food or water. Therefore, the dish should be included only when the specific vrat being followed allows its ingredients and preparation.
One of the easiest singhare atta recipes, this halwa is made by heating ghee, then roasting singhare atta in it until it changes shade. The roasting releases a mouth-watering aroma, and helps the finished dish develop a complex flavour later. It follows the same method as any other halwa, but this dish does not use any milk, just water, one spice and sugar.
