Aaate ko Halwa (wheat flour) Halwa

This Halwa is considered to be auspicious among the Punjabi's and Sikh's as this is given in the form of Parshad in the Gurudwaras.  We call it as Kadha Parshad. This is one of my favourite halwas. I remember when I was young I used to visit Gurudwara and will not come out without taking this Parshad.
I often make dis one on Guru Nanak Jyanti or any such occasion.
Its really tasty thought I should share this with my readers.
