Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Heat Ghee

   Place a pan on medium heat and add about 3 tablespoons of ghee (clarified butter). Allow it to melt and heat up.

2. 2.Roast Semolina

   Add 1 cup of semolina to the heated ghee. Roast the semolina on medium-low heat, stirring continuously, until it turns golden brown. This process takes approximately 8-10 minutes.

3. 3.Add Sugar

   Once the semolina is golden brown, add 1 cup of sugar to the pan. Mix well with the roasted semolina for about 1-2 minutes until the sugar starts to dissolve slightly.

4. 4.Add Warm Water

   Slowly and carefully pour 4 cups of warm water into the semolina-sugar mixture while continuously stirring. Be cautious as the mixture will bubble vigorously.

5. 5.Cook and Thicken

   Continue to cook the halwa on medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan. This will take approximately 5-7 minutes. At this stage, you can add an additional tablespoon of ghee for richness, if desired, and mix it in.

6. 6.Serve

   Once the halwa has reached a thick, pudding-like consistency, turn off the heat. The halwa is now ready to be served warm.
