Ingredients
Semolina - 1 cup
Water - 2 cups
Ghee - 3/4 cup
Sugar - 3/4 cup
Nuts - optional for garnishing
Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp
Method
- Dry roast sooji (optional) and soak in 2 cups of water and keep it aside.
- Add sugar to hot ghee and cook constantly till sugar slightly caramelizes.
Note: Do not overcook sugar in ghee, else the sugar will burn and leave a burnt flavor and smell. - Next add sooji-water mix to the above mix.
- As soon as sooji-water mix is added to hot ghee-sugar mix, the sugar starts to crystallize. Lower the heat and and keep stirring. Crystallized sugar will eventually melt.
- Cook halwa on low-medium heat till halwa comes together.
- Garnish with nuts and cardamom powder.
Note: Halwa oozes ghee after it's been cooked.
