Sooji Halwa / Rava Sheera
An authentic Indian sweet crafted with semolina, ghee, and sugar, this Sooji Halwa is not only easy to prepare but also boasts an exquisite taste.
Ingredients
- ½ cup Semolina / Rava / Sooji 100 grams
- ⅓ cup Ghee 80 grams
- ¾ cup milk 180ml
- ¾ cup water 180ml
- ⅓ cup Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Chopped raisins
- 2 tablespoon Chopped Almonds
- ¼ teaspoon Cardamom powder
Instructions
- Mix the water, milk, and sugar in a pot. Switch on the flame and let it come to a boil.
- Heat ghee in a big pan. Add Sooji / Rava. Saute it on low to medium heat for 5 minutes. Keep on stirring the sooji so that the grains do not stick to the pan and are roasted evenly.
- Meanwhile, keep your attention on the sugar-water-milk mixture also.
- If the mixture starts to boil, then lower the flame and let it simmer.
- Add Chopped Almonds and raisins. Mix them well and roast them for 3 more minutes or until sooji is light brown.
- Lower the heat now and add slowly the water-milk-sugar mixture to the roasted sooji. Be careful as the mixture tends to splutter.
- Mix quickly and cook them for 1 to 2 minutes, while stirring continuously.
- Cook on a slow flame for 2 minutes or until the whole mixture starts thickening and starts to leave the edge of the Kadai or pan. The ghee also will be visible at the sides.
- Add Cardamom powder and mix well. Switch off the flame.
- Your Sooji Halwa is ready. Garnish it with Chopped almonds. This can be served hot, warm, or cold.
- Serve with Puri, Bhajiya, or as it is.
