Rich and nutty Suji ka Halwa, a classic Indian sweet

Suji ka Halwa

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
Halwa is the simplest yet most heart-warming sweet made in every Indian home. Roasting the semolina in butter gives the base a nutty, full flavour, which is then embraced by the sweetness and softness of sugar syrup. It's like a warm hug in a bowl.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Heavy-based saucepan
  • Wooden spoon

Allergen Information

⚠️ Milk
⚠️ Cereals containing gluten

Instructions

1 ✓

Roast the semolina in the butter until golden brown and fragrant.

Tip: This step provides the flavour: the semolina starch transforms (dextrinisation) and becomes nutty.
2 ✓

Carefully pour in the hot water/milk while stirring continuously.

Tip: Watch out for the steam! The hot liquid makes the grains swell (bloom) immediately.
3 ✓

Cook until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Tip: This indicates that the semolina has absorbed the moisture and fat.
