How to Make Aarsis Ultimate Sooji Halwa

  1. Prepare the sugar syrup: In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Set aside.
  2. Toast the sooji: Heat 1/2 cup of ghee in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add 1 cup of sooji (semolina) and stir continuously until it turns a light golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. This step is crucial for the halwa's texture.
  3. Add the sugar syrup: Carefully pour the prepared sugar syrup into the toasted sooji. It will bubble up, so be cautious and stir constantly to prevent burning.
  4. Cook until thickened: Return the pan to medium heat and continue stirring frequently. The mixture will thicken as the water evaporates, about 10-15 minutes.
  5. Add nuts and raisins: Stir in 1/2 cup chopped almonds and 1/4 cup raisins. Cook for another 5 minutes, until the mixture starts to leave the sides of the pan and ghee begins to separate.
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and garnish with the remaining 1/4 cup of chopped almonds. Serve warm and enjoy this delicious Sooji Halwa with your loved ones!
