Annavaram prasadam / Cracked Wheat Halwa

Annavaram Devasthanam is one of the most famous temples in Andhra Pradesh. Broken Wheat Halwa  is served as prasadam in this temple and is so much famous that it is popularly known as  "ANNAVARAM PRASADAM". It is made with the best quality jaggery and wheat of the season.

When I planned to prepare prasadam for the Satyanarayana Swamy Vratam event in the temple, “Annavaram  Sri Satyanarayana Swamy Prasadam” came in my mind. To my surprise, this idea of preparing this Annavaram  prasadam for the Satyanarayana vratam was a hit….
Annavaram prasadam has its own unique taste and flavor and can be made with minimal ingredients at home.
Lets get started with the recipe.

Ingredients:



  • Cracked Wheat (Godhuma Rava) - 1 cup 
  • Milk - 2 cups
  • Water - 2 cups
  • Jaggery - 1 ½ cup
  • Sugar - ½ cup
  • Cashew - Handful
  • Raisins   - Handful
  • Ghee:  minimum 4 tablespoons ( the more the better :) )
  • Cardamom / Elaichi Powder : ½ tsp


Method :


Place a pan on the stove and add 1 tbsp of ghee and fry Cashew nuts  until golden brown. Add the raisins and as soon as they blow up and change color, switch off the flame and keep them aside.



Fry Broken wheat in 1 tbsp ghee in a medium flame until it turns brown. It may take around 5-8 mins.
Meanwhile , take a heavy bottomed vessel (preferably nonstick ) and add the Milk and water and  bring them to boil. Add the wheat ravva and stir continously.


Stir the wheat until it  is almost cooked until soft. The milk and water should have be absorbed by the wheat ravva at this stage.



On a low flame, add the jaggery, sugar and cardamom powder and stir continuously until all the sugar and jaggery is dissolved .


Add ghee to the mixture and stir continuously on low flame.



When the water and milk are totally absorbed , and the ghee starts leaving the edges, switch off the flame. The consistency of the prasadam should  be as shown in the picture. It should be grain and sticky by now.




Garnish with   fried cashew nuts and  raisins . Cover and close it with a lid for about 30 mins until it cools down.



Now your Annavaram Sri Satyanarayana Swamy Prasadam / Broken wheat halwa / Broken wheat pudding  is ready to serve.
