this vrat ka halwa is made from singhare ka atta (water chestnut flour) and kuttu ka atta (buck wheat flour). a sweet dessert that is often made during fasts on navratri and ekadashi.

i make the vrat ka halwa similar to making rava kesari or sooji halwa. the flours have to be roasted well in ghee to get a good aroma, texture and taste. if you want barfis, then just spread the halwa in a greased tray and when cooled, slice the halwa into cubes or squares. you can also make the halwa with just singhare ka atta. addition of dry fruits can be of your choice too.

apart from this vrat ka halwa, there are few more sweet recipes which can be made during navratri fasting like:

1. sabudana kheer
2. makhane ki kheer
3. samak ki kheer
4. sabudana ladoo
5. paneer kheer
6. pumpkin kheer
7. lauki kheer
