Hmm...this looks like tamilnadu way of preparation. We prepare it a little differently. The pic looks like I can put it up on my screen and eat rice looking at it :-)
nice post of Avial, saw this wheat halwa, will try it for sure, luv that sweet, but haven't tried making it.
MT: Looks delicious and colorful. Never heard about adding rice flour and moreover we do add jeera to the grinding ingredients.

Rice flour act as thickening agent and I donot use jeera as it will taste like more kootu.
