Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Semolina (Rava/Sooji)
- 0.5 cup Ghee (Clarified Butter)
- 1 cup Sugar
- 2.5 cups Water
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom Powder
- 2 tablespoons Raisins
- 2 tablespoons Cashews
- 1 tablespoon Almonds (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Pistachios (chopped)
Instructions
Heat the ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan on medium heat.
Add the semolina to the pan and roast it in the ghee, stirring continuously, until it turns light golden brown and emits a nutty aroma (about 6-8 minutes). Make sure not to burn it.
In a separate saucepan, combine water and milk and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Do not let it boil.
Slowly add the warm milk and water mixture to the roasted semolina, stirring constantly to avoid any lumps. Be cautious as the mixture will splutter initially.
Add the sugar to the pan and stir well until it dissolves completely and the halwa starts to thicken.
Sprinkle cardamom powder into the mixture and stir to incorporate the fragrance and flavor.
In a small frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of ghee. Lightly fry the cashews, raisins, almonds, and pistachios until golden and aromatic.
Add the fried nuts and raisins to the halwa, reserving a few for garnish, and mix them evenly into the mixture.
Cook the halwa for another 2-3 minutes on low heat until it reaches your desired consistency. The halwa should be glossy and should not stick to the pan.
Transfer the halwa to a serving dish, garnish with the reserved nuts, and serve warm. Enjoy your sinful and heavenly divine semolina halwa!
