Ghau Na Jada Lot Badam No Sheero/ Atta Badaam Ka Sheera / Coarse Wheat FLour Almond Halwa

Ghau Na Jada Lot Badam No Sheero/ Atta Badaam Ka Sheera / Coarse Wheat Flour Almond Halwa is a  traditional and quick Indian recipe made from coarse whole wheat flour, almond, milk, sugar and ghee. The flavor is enhanced with saffron, cardamom and rose water. It is rich in fibre and loaded with goodness of almonds and thus is  a very nutritious breakfast and also can be enjoyed as sweet dish or dessert. It can be served warm or cold and can be refrigerated for a week.

The sheera is good winter dessert. I prefer eating it warm. Since it uses coarse wheat flour, it will absorb more milk. So you can add more milk if needed as the absorption capacity varies on type of wheat flour.

The sheera goes well with traditional dishes like daal, chawal. subji and roti.
