How to Make Aarsis Ultimate Sooji Halwa
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
