Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 3 cups
Ingredients
  • 1 cup fine sooji, semolina
  • 2 tablespoon ghee or butter
  • 3 cardamom pods
  • ⅓ heaping cup of sugar
  • 2 cup water
Method
  1. In a clean pan, dry roast the semolina until it turns from white to light golden in color. Remove from heat and place in bowl. This step helps you avoid using less ghee or butter. When you dry roast you help remove some of the moisture in the grain. In the same pan melt ghee or butter and add the semolina, mix. In a separate pan boil two cups of water. After it comes to a boil turn off heat and add sugar and cardamom pods. Mix to make sure all the sugar melts. Once the semolina and butter mixture starts browning and looking like wet sand, slowly add the sugared water. Be careful while adding the water as the mixture will sputter. Mix and let bubble away. Once the halwa starts thickening and pulling away from the sides, turn heat off. Enjoy warm.
