Tasty Rava (Sooji) Halwa

its a very popular sweet dish around the country (INDIA)

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup sooji (rava, semolina flour)
  • 1/4 cup ghee (clear butter)
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2cup water and milk in equal proportion
  • Pinch of cardamom powder
  • 1 tablespoon sliced almonds for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon kishmish ( raisins ) 


Method:

  1. Boil the water and milk with sugar, and cardamom powder in a pan over low medium heat. Bring to a boil and Set aside.
  2. Melt the ghee in a frying pan on medium heat.
  3. Add sooji and roast to golden brown color; stirring constantly this will take about 5 to 8 minutes. Sooji will be golden brown in color and will have a light sweet aroma.
  4. Add the syrup slowly, as you add the syrup to sooji water will splatter.
  5. Turn down the heat to medium low and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Sooji will absorb the milk, as the Halwa cools so keep Halwa a little more softer then you want.
  7. Garnish with almonds and kishmish

Serving suggestion:
  1. Serve hot for best taste. If you like, garnish with shaved pistachio, almonds or shredded coconut.
  2. For breakfast serve with aloo poori.

its a very tasty dish, just give your self a try, after all its all for our poor little tummy na :)
