Similar to Indian desert Lapsi.
1 cup fine fada or wheat germ
1/3 cup butter or ghee
3 1/2 cup water
6-8 strands of saffron
1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon powder
1/3 tsp apple pie spice or pumpkin spice
1 cup and 2 tbsp of Brown sugar
10-12 Elaichi seeds
Heat a large skillet, add butter and wheat germ and stir. On the side boil water with saffron. Once the water comes to boil add all the sugar to the water and let it melt. Meanwhile stir the wheat germ every couple minutes till you smell the sweet flavor of roasting wheat germ. Don't burn it. Cook it on medium flame. Once the wheat germ turns light red, add cinnamon, cardamom seeds, apple pie spice ( or pumpkin spice) and stir for few seconds. Gently pour all the boiled sweet water on to the wheat germ. Be carful as it splutters a lot. Stir slowly and continue stir until all the water is soaked by the wheat germ and you reach the halwa consistency.
Serve hot or cold with choice of nuts. You can serve it hot with a dollop of vanilla or butter scotch ice cream with drizzled chocolate.
