Ingredients
- 1 cup Semolina (Suji)
- 0.5 cup Ghee (Clarified Butter)
- 0.75 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 whole Cardamom Pods
- 0.25 teaspoon Saffron Strands
- 2 tablespoons Chopped Nuts (Almonds, Cashews)
- 1 tablespoon Raisins
Directions
Step 1
Heat the ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan on medium heat.
Step 2
Add the semolina (suji) and stir continuously, roasting it until it turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma. This should take about 7-8 minutes.
Step 3
In a separate small saucepan, heat the water and milk together. Add the saffron strands and cardamom pods to this mixture and bring it to a boil.
Step 4
Once the semolina is roasted, carefully pour the hot water-milk mixture into the pan with the semolina, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Be cautious as the mixture can splatter.
Step 5
Add the sugar and mix well. Continue stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens to a halwa-like consistency, which takes about 5-7 minutes.
Step 6
Stir in the chopped nuts and raisins, reserving a few for garnish. Mix thoroughly.
Step 7
Once the halwa reaches the desired consistency and starts pulling away from the sides of the pan, remove it from heat.
Step 8
Garnish with the reserved nuts and serve warm.
