Ingredients

• 1 cup Semolina
• 0.75 cup Sugar
• 2 cups Water
• 0.5 cup Soy milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
• 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (almonds, pistachios, cashews)
• 2 tablespoons Golden raisins
• 4 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Water (for puri dough)
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for deep frying)

Directions

Step 1

1. In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat. Add the semolina and roast it until it turns golden brown, stirring continuously to avoid burning.

Step 2

2. Simultaneously, in another saucepan, bring the water, soy milk, and sugar to a boil.

Step 3

3. Once the semolina is roasted, slowly add the boiling liquid to the semolina while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

Step 4

4. Reduce the heat to low, add cardamom powder, and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens.

Step 5

5. In a small pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Add the chopped nuts and raisins, and saute until the nuts are golden brown. Add this mixture to the halwa and mix well.

Step 6

6. To make puris, combine whole wheat flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Gradually add water and knead to form a smooth dough.

Step 7

7. Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a 5-inch circle using a rolling pin.

Step 8

8. Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan. Once hot, carefully slide a rolled puri into the oil. Fry until golden brown, flipping once to cook both sides evenly.

Step 9

9. Remove the puris with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Step 10

10. Serve the hot puris with the prepared halwa. Enjoy your Vegan Halwa Puri!
