    Atta Halwa | Gujarati Wheat Sheero

    Published On October 30, 2021 by Aayushi Patel This Post May Contain Affiliate Links

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Atta Halwa is one of the quickest fixes for me whenever I crave something sweet. This halwa is melt in mouth delicious. A very popular sweet throughout North India, in Gujarat we call it Sheero. We make Whole wheat Sheero at home quite often than that of Rava Sheero. Made with just 4-5 ingredients, this halwa comes with a lot of benefits for new moms.

    Atta Halwa | Sheero

    What is Atta Halwa?

    Atta Halwa is a popular sweet dish made and cherished throughout North India. I am sharing my family recipe here. Traditionally made using water, at my home my ba (my grandma) prefers using milk. So we grew up eating halwa made in milk. It might be quite unusual to many, but adding milk renders a lot of benefit to new mothers and babies. It also gives a beautiful creamy texture to the halwa which I love.

    Ingredients to Make Gujarati Wholewheat Sheero

    To make a good Gujarati sheero, all you need is whole wheat flour, jaggery and ghee. These are the three key ingredients of this recipe.

    Whole wheat flour - Traditionally we use Jado Ghau no Lot, aka thick wholewheat flour which is generally used to make bhakris. Now in US we don't always have Bhakri Flour available. So I like to use Whole Wheat Flour along with spoonfuls of semolina. The purpose here is to give the halwa a beautiful grainy texture.

    Ghee - I like to use melted ghee for most of my dessert recipes. It is easier to measure and more accurate this way.

    Jaggery - I prefer Jaggery over Sugar in my desserts. It gives this very rustic earthy undertones with the sweetness that it adds to the desserts. I highly recommend to try adding jagggery to your sweet treats. Its a game changer. Oh, by the way, I use Kolhapuri Jaggery. It is easily available at the Indian Store. The color of the jaggery is light, so it doesn't ruin the color of your dessert and it works perfectly.

    Milk/ Water - This is completely upto you. I will definitely say that the halwa made using water is far more easier for your gut to digest. But, the creaminess that milk brings to this halwa is unbeatable. I get asked this question a lot on my Instagram, about what I ate as a nursing mom. The magic is this halwa made with milk. Now idk if it helped or not, but I can surely tell you that I had a very steady milk supply. And it so quick to make, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

    Cardamom Powder and Nuts - These ingredients are completely optional. You can add them if you like or leave them out. I particularly always add cardamom powder and skip nuts sometimes, but I leave that completely up to you.

    Tips to Make Perfect Atta Halwa

    Atta Halwa

    Boil the Water/ Milk - You have to start with boiling milk/ water in a saucepan. This is a very crucial step in determining the texture of the halwa. Keep it ready to be added to the pan when it is time.

    Adding the Ghee - Please follow the recipe to the T. Using good quality ghee is essential. I like to use Amul ghee, or 4th and Heart Original Ghee for storebought options. The wholewheat flour will need enough fat to cook aka ghee. Please don't cut down the amount of ghee you add to this recipe. Ghee will also aid in digestion so please don't cut it down. Please measure 1 Cup of Melted Ghee for this recipe. Just Microwave Ghee for 2 minutes, and you will have melted ghee ready.

    Stir the Halwa Continuously - You want to keep stirring the halwa continuously. If you don't stir it continuously on medium flame, your halwa might form lumps or get burnt.

    Serve and Store the Atta Halwa

    Atta Halwa tastes best when served warm.

    If you have leftovers, store it in an airtight container in your refrigerator. The ghee will solidify in the refrigerator so the halwa will become hard. Reheat it in the microwave or in a pan. If you choose to reheat the halwa in a pan, I suggest you heat the halwa closing the lid, and let it heat up with the steam.

      Atta Halwa | Gujarati Wholewheat Flour Sheero

      Ingredients

      • 2 Cups Milk / Water
      • 1 Cup Melted Ghee
      • 1 Cup Wholewheat Flour
      • 3 Tbsp Semolina
      • 1 Cup Jaggery/ Sugar
      • 1 Tsp Cardamom Powder
      • Slivered Almonds for Garnishing

      Instructions

      • Heat 2 Cups of water or milk in a saucepan. Let it come to a single boil. Turn off the stove. We want the milk or water to be boiling hot to add it to the halwa. so keep it ready.
      • In a heavy bottom pot, add melted ghee. Add the whole wheat flour and semolina next.
      • Mix it in very well. Roast the wholewheat until it starts to smell earthy.
      • You will notice that the color of the wheat flour is getting more darker and it won't stick on the pan anymore. This is when you know that your atta is cooked and it will take you about 5-7 minutes on a medium flame.
      • Next, add in the boiling hot water/ milk. Be careful here, as the mix will bubble up. This process is crucial as it plays an imporatant part in giving the texture to our halwa
      • Keep stiring continuously as you don't want your halwa to burn. Stir for a minute or two until your atta absorbs all the milk/ water.
      • Next add in one cup of crushed jaggery or castor sugar. Incorporate the sugar/ jaggery well.
      • Once done add the cardamom powder and nuts of your choice.
      • Garnish it with more slivered almonds and pistachios.

3. Preheat the Air Fryer on Roast setting for 400F for 1 minute.
4. Air fry the idlis in 2 batches, Add the idlis in a single layer and roast them at 400F for 12 mins. Give it a shake at 6 mins mark to make sure idlis crisp evenly.

        • Sabr (patience) something that I never knew existed in me. Sabr is hard, yet it is beautiful. Beautiful when you get to tell your story. 

I never questioned once why me, when I went through losses, failed infertility treatments, bleeding disorders, and declining health. Until Inaaya was taken to the NICU to a completely different hospital. That’s when I asked why her. There is still so much that I haven’t shared. But, yet the only thing that helped me sail through everything was patience, my will to take one day at a time. Through all the downfalls, I have risen stronger, wiser, more confident, but most of all grateful for the ones who truly never left my side. 

I am glad I shared my infertility and IVF journey. It has helped so many of you and me. It is a true honor for me to read your stories, to see the photos to your miracle babies, and so many of you messaged me encouraging words with your own experiences with NICU. 

So if you are going through any hard times, things get better. Have faith in time. It is easy to say than do, but I have been there on the path of grief a couple of times now. Time will bring you the things you deserve. If you are grieving, time will help you teach to live with it, channel it. It might take some help from an outsider. I am proud of myself to seek therapy when I needed it. It has helped me channel my big emotions and very big feelings in the right way. I still have my days, when I spend all my time in bed, watching tv endlessly, eating in bed, tears rolling out for reasons I can’t explain. But I am have gotten  better since past couple years. My two girls, Luna and Inaaya never fail to show me love, kindness and grace.

        • Matar Paneer and Garam Garam Tandoori Roti! A meal that will always be my favorite and nostalgic. My mom used to make matar paneer, whenever I would invite my friends over, or she wants to treat us for a restaurant style dinner at home. This matar paneer is so easy to make and so delicious! 

📌Recipe📌

🌱 For the Curry Base

• 1 Tbsp Oil
• 1/2 Tsp Cumin Seeds
• 2 Green Cardamoms
• 1 Bay Leaf
• 1 Small Cinnamon Stick
• 1 Dried Red Chili
• 1 Medium Onion Sliced
• 1 Big RomaTomato Sliced
• 4-5 Garlic cloves chopped
• 1/2 Inch ginger chopped
• 1 Tsp Kashmiri Red Chili Powder
• 1/2 Tsp Dhanyajeera Powder
• 1/4 Tsp Turmeric
• 1 Tsp Salt
• 8-10 Cashews

For The Curry

• 2 Tbsp Butter
• 1 Tsp Kashmiri Ted Chili Powder 
• 1 Tsp Salt
• 250 Gms Paneer Cubed
• 1/2 Cup Fresh/ Frozen Green Peas
• 1 Tsp Garam Masala
• 1 Tsp Crushed Kasuri Methi
• Adjust Salt if needed

📌 step by step📌

1. To a frying pan add oil, cumin seeds, dried red chili, green cardamom, bay leaf and cinnamon stick. Let the cumin seeds splutter and add sliced onions. 2. Saute the onions until they soften and add ginger garlic. Saute everything until golden brown. 
3. Add chopped tomatoes, red chili powder, dhanyajeera turmeric, salt and cashews. Cook until tomatoes soften. 
4. Let it cool down. Take the bay leaf out. And now add the prepared masala to a blender. Blend into a curry base. 
5. Add butter to the pan. To this add kashmiri red chili powder, and add the preppared curry base. Add splash of water to adjust the consistency. 
6. Add a tsp of sugar to balance the flavors. And adjust the salt. 
7. Let it cook for a minute and add cubed paneer and peas. I like to soak store bought paneer in hot water for 10-15 mins before adding it to the curries. This makes the paneer very soft. 
8. Add garam masala and kasuri methi. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and cream.
9. Serve hot!

        • Life isn’t easy on any of us. We all battle our own struggles and this was mine. Inaaya is my fierce and warrior child. She was worth the wait. She came into my life when I needed her the most. When I was broken to the point where healing didn’t seem to be in the horizon. She knows to constantly remind of the love I craved for years. Inaaya means gift of god. She is the light of our lives, she is my light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Someone has rightly said, a quote I go back to again and again. 

“You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only option“ 

If you are in a similar situation as I was, know that there is light at the end of tunnel, and everything happens for a reason.

        1. Cut the leftover idlis into equal sized wedges.
        2. Add them to a mixing bowl and add oil. Mix it with your hands.
        3. Preheat the Air Fryer on Roast setting for 400F for 1 minute.
        4. Air fry the idlis in 2 batches, Add the idlis in a single layer and roast them at 400F for 12 mins. Give it a shake at 6 mins mark to make sure idlis crisp evenly.

        Sabr (patience) something that I never knew existed in me. Sabr is hard, yet it is beautiful. Beautiful when you get to tell your story.

        I never questioned once why me, when I went through losses, failed infertility treatments, bleeding disorders, and declining health. Until Inaaya was taken to the NICU to a completely different hospital. That’s when I asked why her. There is still so much that I haven’t shared. But, yet the only thing that helped me sail through everything was patience, my will to take one day at a time. Through all the downfalls, I have risen stronger, wiser, more confident, but most of all grateful for the ones who truly never left my side.

        I am glad I shared my infertility and IVF journey. It has helped so many of you and me. It is a true honor for me to read your stories, to see the photos to your miracle babies, and so many of you messaged me encouraging words with your own experiences with NICU.

        So if you are going through any hard times, things get better. Have faith in time. It is easy to say than do, but I have been there on the path of grief a couple of times now. Time will bring you the things you deserve. If you are grieving, time will help you teach to live with it, channel it. It might take some help from an outsider. I am proud of myself to seek therapy when I needed it. It has helped me channel my big emotions and very big feelings in the right way. I still have my days, when I spend all my time in bed, watching tv endlessly, eating in bed, tears rolling out for reasons I can’t explain. But I am have gotten better since past couple years. My two girls, Luna and Inaaya never fail to show me love, kindness and grace.

        Matar Paneer and Garam Garam Tandoori Roti! A meal that will always be my favorite and nostalgic. My mom used to make matar paneer, whenever I would invite my friends over, or she wants to treat us for a restaurant style dinner at home. This matar paneer is so easy to make and so delicious!

        📌Recipe📌

        🌱 For the Curry Base

        • 1 Tbsp Oil
        • 1/2 Tsp Cumin Seeds
        • 2 Green Cardamoms
        • 1 Bay Leaf
        • 1 Small Cinnamon Stick
        • 1 Dried Red Chili
        • 1 Medium Onion Sliced
        • 1 Big RomaTomato Sliced
        • 4-5 Garlic cloves chopped
        • 1/2 Inch ginger chopped
        • 1 Tsp Kashmiri Red Chili Powder
        • 1/2 Tsp Dhanyajeera Powder
        • 1/4 Tsp Turmeric
        • 1 Tsp Salt
        • 8-10 Cashews

        For The Curry

        • 2 Tbsp Butter
        • 1 Tsp Kashmiri Ted Chili Powder
        • 1 Tsp Salt
        • 250 Gms Paneer Cubed
        • 1/2 Cup Fresh/ Frozen Green Peas
        • 1 Tsp Garam Masala
        • 1 Tsp Crushed Kasuri Methi
        • Adjust Salt if needed

        📌 step by step📌

        1. To a frying pan add oil, cumin seeds, dried red chili, green cardamom, bay leaf and cinnamon stick. Let the cumin seeds splutter and add sliced onions. 2. Saute the onions until they soften and add ginger garlic. Saute everything until golden brown.
        3. Add chopped tomatoes, red chili powder, dhanyajeera turmeric, salt and cashews. Cook until tomatoes soften.
        4. Let it cool down. Take the bay leaf out. And now add the prepared masala to a blender. Blend into a curry base.
        5. Add butter to the pan. To this add kashmiri red chili powder, and add the preppared curry base. Add splash of water to adjust the consistency.
        6. Add a tsp of sugar to balance the flavors. And adjust the salt.
        7. Let it cook for a minute and add cubed paneer and peas. I like to soak store bought paneer in hot water for 10-15 mins before adding it to the curries. This makes the paneer very soft.
        8. Add garam masala and kasuri methi. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and cream.
        9. Serve hot!

        Life isn’t easy on any of us. We all battle our own struggles and this was mine. Inaaya is my fierce and warrior child. She was worth the wait. She came into my life when I needed her the most. When I was broken to the point where healing didn’t seem to be in the horizon. She knows to constantly remind of the love I craved for years. Inaaya means gift of god. She is the light of our lives, she is my light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Someone has rightly said, a quote I go back to again and again.

        “You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only option“

        If you are in a similar situation as I was, know that there is light at the end of tunnel, and everything happens for a reason.
