Notes
How to cook suji ka halwa
Step 1: Firstly we need to roast the semolina or suji. So take a warm fry pan and put the suji into it. Roast the suji for 3-4 minutes on low flame. Keep stirring it continuously. Otherwise it will get burnt.
Step 2: Now shift the pan from the stove and then pour the 1+1/2 cup of milk into it. On this point add the cardamoms into the milk & mix them well. Now move the pan again on the the stove.
Tips: Be careful during the pouring of milk. There is a chance of sudden boiling of the milk or water, which can throw some granules of hot suji to your hand.
Step 3: Cook the suji for 1 minute and then add 5 tbsp. of sugar into it. Mix them all together very well.
Step 4: In that point add the the roasted walnuts and raisins into it. Mix them all.
Step 5: At last add 2 tbsp. of ghee (clarified butter) and mix them. I love little dried suji, so that I cook the suji for 5 minutes.
