How to Make Sooji Semolina Halwa

  1. In a heavy-bottomed pan or kadai, heat the ghee over medium heat.
  2. Add the semolina and roast, stirring continuously, until it turns light golden brown and fragrant (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Add the sugar and stir well to combine.
  4. Gradually pour in the water, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
  5. Add the milk and continue stirring until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the halwa to cook through and become rich and creamy.
  7. Stir in the cardamom powder, chopped nuts, and raisins.
  8. Cook for another minute, allowing the flavors to blend.
  9. Remove from heat and transfer the halwa to a serving dish.
  10. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
