Extraction of milk from wheat: 
Soak 4 cups of wheat overnight. Grind it with water. Extract the
milk using a piece of cloth. Again grind the same
mixture to extract more milk. Keep the milk extract aside for 2 hours.
Decant the excess water seen on top. Now measure the
amount of thick milk in hand.
Preparation of Sugar Syrup :
Heat sugar and water in the ratio of 1:1. Stir until it becomes thick
(Kambi Pagu) Take a thick bottomed Kadai, pour sugar syrup and heat it. Add
the extracted thick wheat milk and start stirring. Add
some ghee and keep stirring. Simultaneously boil some water. When
the mixture becomes thick add some boiling water to it
and keep on stirring. Keep on adding ghee and little
water until you are sure the halwa is well cooked. Add
kesari powder, saffron, and cardamom
powder. Keep on stirring. Initially all the ghee will
be absorbed but when they start to separate from the
halwa remove it from the flame and set aside. Decorate with roasted
cashew nuts and saffron strands.
