    Singhare Ka Atta Halwa is a Vrat dish popularly made during the Navratri season or for any Vrat time. This crumbly halwa is very easy to make.

    The Singhare Ka Atta is Water chestnut flour, is brownish in colour, and cooks very fast. The tradition in the many North Indian States refer to Farali Dishes or Vrat dishes, and they have such interesting dishes cooked during this season.

    I personally feel that the Vrat dishes surely make a feast! For the Halwa Series that I am following, the second halwa is made with Singada Halwa made during Navratri or Ekadasi fasting.

    I had bought this flour many months ago for another dish and it was safely packed and refrigerated. After making this halwa, I was so glad that I finally made use of the flour. I was thinking I should add some food colour, however on adding to the hot pan, the brownish flour became even browner and got cooked very fast.

    This turned out like Ulundhu Kali and just like that, however, ghee was added, it was getting absorbed and turned crumbly. This halwa is also known as Farali Singhara Halwa and one of the popular Vrat Dishes. Singhara is also known as water caltrop or water chestnut.

    For the BM#104 Sweets & Snacks, the second day is Singhare Ka Atta Halwa, while I have another interesting deep-fried traditional sweet in Spice your Life!

      Singhare ke aatey ka halwa looks lovely . I like that dark nutty color . This flour has a unique flavour and I have just made Poori and roti from this flour . My granny used to make this Halwa , but frankly I do not remember the taste .

      I also wonder at all the vrat ka khana and feel that it is a feast. This halwa definitely looks very filling.

      Completely agree with your thoughts on fasting dishes,they do make a feast! I have been saving up recipes with Singhara ka atta so that when I get a pack i can finish it up quickly. So this one too goes to the bookmarks. The halwa looks really good Srivalli
