Suji Halwa is a traditional Indian sweet dish also known as Suji Sheera or Rava Kesari. This halwa is a sweet pudding that tastes simply divine and is typically made during festivals like Navratri.
1: In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat ghee over medium flame.
2: Add all nuts (almonds, cashews, pistachios, and raisins). Sauté for a few seconds until golden and keep aside.
3: In the same pan, add semolina, reduce the heat to low, and sauté.
4: Add gram flour and continue to sauté over low heat until light brown and aromatic, stirring continuously.
5: Once roasted, add the nuts back into the pan and stir for a minute.
6: Carefully add warm water to the pan, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
7: Let it cook for a few minutes until the water is absorbed.
8: Add sugar, cardamom powder, and saffron milk, stirring to combine.
9: Let halwa cook for 4-5 minutes on low heat until it leaves the pan and ghee begins to separate.
10: Transfer the halwa to serving bowls, garnish with dried rose petals and pistachio, and serve.
