Semolina pudding or suji halwa is one of the easiest sweet delicacy cooked in every home all across the country. The warm goodness is known to engulf all the morning worries and the sweetness stays through out the day. On Ashtami or Naumi, on the closure of Navratri, in almost every home suji halwa is made to break the fast and celebrate the glory of Goddess Durga. My mom too made it along with hot puris and black chickpea (masala chana)., the traditional Navratri feast.
1 cup semolina (suji) 1 cup sugar 1 cup whole milk 1/2 cup water 3 tbsp ghee chopped nuts & raisins
In a wok dry roast semolina for few minutes on medium heat. When slightly brown in color, add ghee. Mix well Meanwhile, in another pan boil water. Add sugar. Keep on stirring till the sugar dissolves. Add the sugar syrup, along with milk in the wok, stirring continuously to avoid any lump formation. Let it cook for few minutes, till the water is absorbed by the semolina. Serve hot garnished with raisins and nuts.
