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.

Sulthanpur style suji ka halwa
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.
