Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Semolina (Suji)
- 0.5 cup Ghee (Clarified Butter)
- 0.75 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 whole Cardamom Pods
- 0.25 teaspoon Saffron Strands
- 2 tablespoons Chopped Nuts (Almonds, Cashews)
- 1 tablespoon Raisins
Instructions
Heat the ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan on medium heat.
Add the semolina (suji) and stir continuously, roasting it until it turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma. This should take about 7-8 minutes.
In a separate small saucepan, heat the water and milk together. Add the saffron strands and cardamom pods to this mixture and bring it to a boil.
Once the semolina is roasted, carefully pour the hot water-milk mixture into the pan with the semolina, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Be cautious as the mixture can splatter.
Add the sugar and mix well. Continue stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens to a halwa-like consistency, which takes about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the chopped nuts and raisins, reserving a few for garnish. Mix thoroughly.
Once the halwa reaches the desired consistency and starts pulling away from the sides of the pan, remove it from heat.
Garnish with the reserved nuts and serve warm.
