Sooji Halwa is prepared from roasted semolina and jaggery. Warm Halwa with nuts is usually served as prashad on many occasions. This halwa can be prepared within 20 minutes
Heat 2 teaspoon of ghee in a pan. Roast cashewnuts pieces and keep it aside
In the same pan add Semolina and roast it in a medium heat until it becomes slightly golden brown color
At this stage add approximately 1.5 cups of water
I usually boil water in kettle and add it to the pan
If you don’t have kettle then boil water separately and then add the hot water to roasted Semolina
Keep on stirring until the Semolina is completely cooked
Add milk, jaggery powder, cardamom powder and a tablespoon of ghee. Continue Stirring
Add one more tablespoon of ghee and keep stirring until you see the slight change in texture. Adding ghee ensures the Halwa doesn’t become hard even after hours of preparing it. So be generous with the amount of ghee added
After nearly 10 minutes remove Sooji Halwa from the pan
Garnish with chopped Almonds, Pistachios and Cashewnuts
