My Never Fail Suji Ka Halwa (Semolina Halwa) image

This was the first dish I made when I was in the 6th standard. Over the years it keeps getting better. I just love this and the best part is you don't even have to keep getting back to the recipe pad, just use one portion of suji, ghee, and sugar and 3 portions of water. It's so good--try it!

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup semolina (suji)
1/2 cup ghee
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups water
20 raisins (optional)
1/4 teaspoon yellow food coloring (optional)
1/4 cup dried coconut (thinly sliced)

Steps:

  • Take a deep pan or kadai; heat ghee. When hot add suji; stir it and lower the flame medium to low.
  • In a separate pan take water, sugar, food colouring and raisins together. Bring to a boil on medium flame and let it boil for a minute.
  • After a couple of minutes the suji will change colour. Now don't leave it unattended--constantly stir it to avoid burning until a nice brown colour is reached, something similar to the colour of peanut butter.
  • Reduce flame to slowest wear your thick oven gloves and very carefully add the boiling water to the suji.
  • The water will splutter, so be careful!
  • Now add the coconut slices and simmer until the water is well mixed and halwa has reached a good thick consistency (please do not boil or overcook else it will harden).
  • Remove from flame and cover with a lid.
  • This halwa is eaten warm. Can be refrigerated up to a week and heated in microwave.
  • Enjoy!
