Sooji halwa is one of the popular halwa recipes in Pakistan and India especially during Eid, wedding or any occasion; sooji halwa literally in Urdu means semolina sweet, it is prepared using semolina as a primary ingredient and may be served either hot or chilled.
This recipe is similar to an Algerian sweet of Toasted Semolina with Butter and Honey we call it TAMINA –I’ll be posting the Recipe soon– usually we make it when celebrating the Aqiqa –the Islamic Welcoming Celebration for New Baby–
Back to our suji ka halwa, I’m sharing with you the simplest recipe version and the traditional one, the key to end up with a yummy suji halwa is to make sure to roast the semolina enough well with ghee, also you can add dry fruits and nuts like raisins, cashew nuts, walnuts… sprinkles of cardamom give this dish a sweet exotic flavour, the amount to use depends on your taste preferences.
