In the same pan, add in wheat flour and roast on low flame for a good 5 to 6 mins till the raw smell leaves away.
Now add in water and keep mixing.
Now add in sugar and mix well. Cook this by keep stiring it.
After 5 mins or so, if you see the halwa sticky, add ghee tblspn at a time and keep mixing. I added around 4 tblspn more ghee to make it glossy and non sticky.
