Punjabi Aatte/wheat flour halwa


Hello Dear Reader,

People cook many varieties of halwa but this is my favourite of all times besides carrot halwa. My mom cooks it the best and I tried to follow her recipe. I cooked halwa for one Indian gettogetger and well it was quite a hit and everybody praised it too.. So I share the recipe with you  in the simplest form I can ....

Recipe :
One cup atta (wheat flour) one cup ghee (melted)
Sauté on medium flame till flour and ghee is separated in PAN ... Add sugar syrup( recipe given in the end)  into it. keep the flame at sim while you add syrup(because ghee is super hot to take water, so be careful).
Increase the flame to full after adding the syrup
The halwa will absorb water in few seconds... And yes it's done :)

You can decorate it with finely chopped almonds, raisins and cashews :)

Sugar syrup -
Add 3 and half cup of water and one cup of sugar and bring it to a boil.
Punjabi Halwa

Art therapy session by Qatar Expat Women

Image
Today I attended art therapy session organised by a very known group in Doha for expat women 'Qatar expat women a positive support group' . The session was taken by an Indian artist Savita J Jhakar. The venue was a decent hotel Warwick. I was just on time and expected the event to be full of knowledge about art therapy and how can we really apply it in our lives.  But, I was disappointed because she just asked us to draw a portrait of ourselves and then she collected the art sheets and spread over the floor. Then everybody saw what all; everybody has drawn and how has everybody explained their personality. And that's it... Then she said , "thank you and everyone can be an artist." Well, I did not come for that... But anyways Qatar Expat women group's larger goal is to bring expat women together. And, I made a new friend YiYi Helena from China.  How to attend Qatar Expat women's Events Find the group on Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/gr
