Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare Dry Fruits

   Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee in a pan. Add sliced almonds, sliced coconut, and raisins. Fry them on medium heat for about 1-2 minutes until they turn light golden brown. Remove the fried dry fruits from the pan and set aside.

2. 2.Prepare Sugar Syrup

   In the same pan, add 2 glasses of water and 1 glass of sugar. Add a pinch of saffron strands. Stir well until the sugar dissolves completely and the syrup comes to a boil. Keep the syrup hot.

3. 3.Roast Semolina

   In a separate pan, add 2 tablespoons of ghee. Add 3-4 cardamom pods. Then add 1 glass of semolina (suji). Roast the semolina on low to medium heat, stirring continuously, for about 5-7 minutes until it turns light golden brown and releases a fragrant aroma.

4. 4.Combine and Cook Halwa

   Carefully pour the hot sugar syrup into the roasted semolina, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Continue to stir and cook on low heat for about 3-5 minutes until the semolina absorbs all the liquid and thickens to a pudding-like consistency.

5. 5.Finish and Serve

   Add the previously fried dry fruits to the halwa. Mix everything well. Serve the Suji Halwa hot, garnished with additional sliced almonds and coconut if desired.
