About Sooji halva
Sooji Halva, a traditional dessert from South Asian cuisine, is made primarily with semolina (sooji), ghee, sugar, and water or milk, often flavored with cardamom and garnished with nuts like almonds or cashews. Originating from India and neighboring regions, this sweet dish is often prepared for celebrations and religious offerings. Semolina provides a source of energy and some essential nutrients like iron and fiber, while nuts contribute healthy fats and protein. However, Sooji Halva is rich in calories and saturated fats due to the ghee and sugar content, making it a calorie-dense treat best enjoyed in moderation. For a healthier twist, one can reduce the sugar, use plant-based oils, or substitute part of the semolina with whole grains. Its warm, comforting flavors make it a cherished indulgence in South Asian homes while reminding us to balance tradition with mindful eating practices.
