My mom (Rekha Ramolia) made atta gur ka halwa / ghau goad no sheero frequently when we as a kid were growing up. I made this often for my son (Aarav) too. This is one of my father’s (Lavji Ramolia) favorite sheera. He would request my mom to make for him when he had cold. Eating the warm sheera relieved him from cold and would release his cough and congestion.

My aunt (Gauri Ramolia) would make this sheera everyday for breakfast for his son (Akash Ramolia). He would get upset if he did not get the sheera as he woke up in the morning.

The sheera does not use any processed sugar and uses jaggery which is a good forurai m of raw sugar. This sheera is also made in many temples as an offering to God.

You can add nuts of your choice in the sheera. You can also add powdered nuts for fussy kids. You can flavor the sheera with cardamom powder.

I have shared different recipes of sheera on the blog as mentioned below:

    • You can use milk to make the halwa . As per ayurveda, milk and gur are virudh aahar and hence i do not prefer adding them together.

  1. Looks good and the natural ingredients. Have you ever tried adding rose water or saffron to this recipe and I ask because of Jaggery ( I use the the original soft from bucket which is least processed)
