How to Make Sinful And Heavenly Divine Semolina Halwa

  1. Roast 1 cup semolina in a skillet over medium heat until lightly golden brown (about 5-7 minutes), stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  2. In a separate saucepan, bring 2 cups whole milk and 1/2 cup water to a boil.
  3. Add 1 cup granulated sugar to the boiling milk-water mixture. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely.
  4. Reduce heat to low and maintain a gentle simmer, stirring every 3-4 minutes to prevent sticking.
  5. Gradually add the roasted semolina to the milk-sugar mixture, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
  6. Continue to cook on low-medium heat, stirring frequently, until the halwa thickens and begins to leave the sides of the pan (about 15-20 minutes).
  7. While the halwa cooks, heat 2 tablespoons ghee in a small pan. Fry 1/4 cup cashews, 1/4 cup raisins, and 5-6 green cardamoms until lightly golden brown.
  8. Stir the fried nuts, raisins, and cardamom into the cooked semolina halwa.
  9. Mix well to combine and ensure everything is evenly distributed.
  10. Serve the Sinful & Heavenly Divine Semolina Halwa hot, garnished with extra nuts if desired. Traditionally served with puris!
