Happy Dussehra and Navratri to all my visitors and friends!


 Today i have a delicious Suji Halwa from a place called Sulthanpur. Sooji Halwa is a very popular sweet dish all over India and is made on religious occasions, as offering to god as Bhogh or prasad . After the offering prasad is served to devotees as a blessing.Now this is very much like the Rava halwa we make, yet with a twist that surely make all the difference.

This is Caramelized Semolina halwa/pudding made with dry coconut, raisins, almonds and cashew nuts. I got this beautiful recipe from one of the famous cookery shows Chak le India kachcha Rasta,where chef Aditya Bal discovers the delicious halwa in Sulthanpur...on NDTV Good Times.

Cooking Directions
  • Heat up the clarified butter in a kadai/wok and add the suji (Semolina).Keep stirring until the suji becomes brown.It will take about 12-15 minutes. It is essential for the suji/semolina to get brown.
  • Add the sugar, dry coconut, raisins, almonds, cashew nuts and keep stirring till the dry fruits turns to golden brown in colour.
  • Add  21/2 cups of water slowly,as you add the water to suji water will splatter.Turn down the heat while frying and adding the water and let it cook.
  • You will notice the starch in the suji will glutenize and will swell and absorb the water.This will create a nice thick halwa. Keep stirring while boiling.Once the halwa becomes nice and thick, this means its ready.
  • Serve hot for better taste.
