Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Sooji (semolina/rava), 1/3 cup Ghee
  • 1¼ cups Water, 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 5 Almonds (badam), sliced 5 Cashew nuts (kaju)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cardamom Powder

Instructions

  • Pour 1¼ cups water in a small saucepan and bring it to boil over medium flame, it will take around 3-4 minutes. Remove it from the flame and keep aside until you reach step-4 below.
  • Take sooji in a heavy based pan, add ghee and heat it over medium flame.
  • Stir and mix using spatula.
  • Roast it until golden-brown. It will take anywhere between 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Reduce flame to low; slowly add boiled water and mix by stirring constantly (add water only in small incremental quantities because it will splutter as soon as you add it).
  • Stir and cook to avoid any lump formation.
  • Increase flame to medium and cook until all water gets absorbed. Add sugar and cardamom powder.
  • Stir until sugar dissolves and it has a semi-solid consistency. Add and mix almonds and cashew nuts after reserving some of them for garnishing.
  • The suji halwa is now ready for serving.
