In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat ghee over medium heat.
1 cup ghee (clarified butter)
Add whole wheat flour (atta) and roast it on low to medium heat until it turns golden brown. Keep stirring continuously to avoid burning.
1 cup whole wheat flour (atta)
In a separate saucepan, add water. Bring it to a boil.
2 1/2 cups water
Add sugar to the roasted flour. Then, slowly add the boiled water to the roasted wheat flour, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Ensure a smooth and lump-free consistency.
Cook the mixture on low heat, stirring continuously. The mixture will start leaving the sides of the pan.
1 cup sugar
Add chopped almonds and cashews (if using) to the mixture. Continue stirring until the nuts are well incorporated.
1/4 cup nuts (almonds and cashews)
Once the Kada Prasad achieves a halwa-like consistency and ghee starts separating, it is ready. Serve it warm!
