Ingredients
- ½ cup Sooji (semolina)
- ¼ cup Ghee (clarified butter)
- 2 cups water (warm)
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup almonds
- 1 teaspoon green cardamom powder
Instructions
- Heat the ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add sooji and roast on a low heat until it turns golden and releases a nutty aroma. Stir continuously to avoid burning.
- Slowly pour the warm water into the roasted suji, stirring quickly to prevent lumps. Cover it with a lid and cook for 2 minutes.
- When the sooji absorbs the water, it fluffs up beautifully. Stir in sugar, cardamom powder, and sliced almonds. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- The halwa is ready once the ghee begins to release from the sides.
- Finish with a sprinkle of almonds. Enjoy this hot, aromatic sooji halwa that simply melts in your mouth, perfect for a quick dessert!
