Ingredients
- ½ cup sooji or semolina (about 90 g)
- ¼ cup ghee
- ⅓ cup sugar, adjust to taste
- 1½ cups water
- ¼ tsp ground cardamom
- 1 tbsp chopped nuts or raisins, optional
How to make it
- Measure all ingredients before heating the pan. Warm the water and sugar in a small saucepan until the sugar dissolves, then keep the liquid hot.
- Melt the ghee in a heavy pan over low-medium heat. Add the sooji and stir continuously, scraping the base.
- Roast until the grains smell nutty and become lightly golden. Reduce the heat if any part starts browning quickly.
- Lower the heat and add the hot sweetened water carefully in stages, keeping your face and hands away from steam and splashes. Stir steadily to break up lumps.
- Add cardamom and optional nuts or raisins. Cook gently until the sooji absorbs the liquid and the halwa gathers softly around the spoon.
- Turn off the heat, cover and rest five minutes. Stir once and serve warm in clean bowls; set aside a separate offering portion if your family follows that practice.
Good to know
- Keep the water hot so it incorporates more smoothly, but pour cautiously.
- Do not serve immediately after pouring liquid; allow the grains to swell and soften.
- Contains wheat and dairy; optional nuts should be labelled.
