The secret lies in properly roasting the semolina to achieve the ideal color and flavor. Today, we’ll guide you through a method to create *suji ka halwa* that tastes just like the ones from your favorite market.

Ingredients Needed for Suji Ka Halwa

Ingredients for *Suji ka Halwa*
To prepare *suji ka halwa*, gather 100 grams of semolina (*suji*), 50 grams of ghee, one tablespoon of gram flour (*besan*), approximately 60 grams of sugar, and two cups of water. You can also include nuts and dried fruits such as cashews, almonds, raisins, grated dried coconut, melon seeds, *munakka* (large raisins), and *chironji* (charoli nuts). Adjust the quantities of these additions based on your taste preferences.

Roasting Nuts and Dried Fruits

Roast the Nuts and Dried Fruits in Ghee First
Start by heating a pan (or *kadhai*) and adding one tablespoon of ghee. Once the ghee is hot, toss in the finely chopped cashews, almonds, raisins, grated dried coconut, *munakka*, and *chironji*. Roast these ingredients over a low flame until they turn a light brown and emit a delightful aroma. After roasting, transfer them to a separate bowl and set aside.

Roasting Semolina and Gram Flour

Roast the Gram Flour and Semolina Over a Low Flame
Reheat the pan and add the remaining ghee. Once it’s hot, add one tablespoon of gram flour (*besan*) and lightly roast it over low heat. Be cautious not to over-roast it, as this can lead to a burnt flavor in the *halwa*. After the gram flour is lightly roasted, incorporate the 100 grams of semolina (*suji*). Roast the semolina while stirring continuously until it achieves a light brown color. This constant stirring is crucial to prevent sticking or burning. The more thoroughly you roast the semolina, the tastier your halwa will be.

Adding Sugar and Water

Take care when adding sugar and water.
Once the semolina is roasted to perfection, mix in the sugar and stir well to ensure it blends completely, enhancing the color of the halwa.

Gradually add two cups of water while stirring continuously. This gradual addition helps the semolina absorb the water properly and avoids the formation of lumps.

Final Touches

Finally, add the roasted nuts.
When the semolina has absorbed the water and the halwa starts to thicken, incorporate the roasted nuts. Mix everything thoroughly. After a bit more cooking, your delicious semolina halwa will be ready.

Serve the halwa hot in bowls to your family. This way, you can create a delightful semolina halwa quickly using simple, everyday ingredients available at home.
