Ingredients
  • 10 cups Roasted White Rice Flour (from soaked 4-5 cups of white raw rice or purchase rice flour from market)
  • 2 cups of Sugar
  • 3 cups of water
  • 3-4 cardamoms
  • Hand full of cashew nuts


How to make roasted rice flour: 
Take white rice flour and put it into a flat bottom pan and heat up under low medium heat. Stir with a spoon to roast the flour evenly. (Properly roasted flour will be free flour, and if you throw a pinch of roasted flout into stove flame it will crack the flame. Make sure to roast the flour properly, if not it will get sticky and will have a different taste)

Method
  1. Keep little amount of roasted flour for dusting and coating.
  2. Place a deep bottom pan and boil the sugar and water until form a thick line and take out from the heat.
  3. Add ground cardamom seeds and chopped cashew nuts and stirring continuously. (This time will allow the syrup to little cool and help to keep aluwa in good white colour.)
  4. Add the sugar syrup slowly to roasted flour and mix in well. 
  5. Sprinkle little amount of remaining rice flour on a flat surface and quickly spread the mixture. (Thickness of the piece will make according to your need)    
  6. Cut the pieces before it get cool and separate from the tray and coat with remaining flour.
  7. This measurement enough for 25-30 Aluwa pieces.
