Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup semolina
  • 2 tbsp ghee
  • 3 tbsp sugar or adjust to taste
  • 1½ cups water
  • 1 tbsp raisins
  • 5 to 6 sliced almonds

Instructions
 

  • Start with taking raisins in a small bowl and soak them in water for 5 to 10 minutes. I soaked raisins in water because of its juicy & soft texture. If you don’t like to soak you can add dried raisins.
  • Then take a pan add 3 tbsp sugar with 1½ cups of water and heat it on a medium flame.
  • When one boil has come and sugar & water mix completely to become a solution then turn off the flame. Keep it aside.
  • Take a cauldron or a pan add 2 tbsp of ghee and heat it.
  • When ghee heats add ½ cup suji or semolina on it.
  • Mix well. Stir it with the spoon on a low flame so that the semolina does not stick to the bottom of the cauldron.
  • Stir it continuously until the sooji gets roasted properly. It takes 8 to 10 minutes to roast completely on low flame.
  • When the sooji is roasted and changes to a little brown color. Add soaked raisins with sugar and water solution carefully (because the grains splutter when you add water) along with stirring.
  • Mix them well. Stir it until the suji absorbs the water completely.
  • When the suji absorbs all water and becomes thickened add 1 tbsp grated dry coconut and sliced almonds.
  • Mix all the ingredients well and turn off the flame.
  • Now the halwa is ready. Serve it with garnishing some sliced almonds.

Notes

  • You can add milk instead of water. It also gives a fine and soft texture to your halwa.
  • I use 3 tbsp sugar in this halwa which is good enough if you are sweet-toothed you can add more sugar.
