Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Roast Suji
Heat Deshi Ghee in a pan. Add 1 cup of Suji (semolina) to the hot ghee. Roast the suji on medium heat, stirring continuously, until it turns golden brown and fragrant, approximately .
Step 2: Add Water and Cook
Carefully add 3 cups of water to the roasted suji. Stir well to combine and ensure no lumps. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the suji absorbs all the water and thickens, approximately .
Step 3: Incorporate Sugar and Cardamom
Add 1.3 cups of sugar to the thickened suji mixture. Stir continuously until the sugar completely dissolves and is well incorporated. Then, add 1.5 teaspoons of elaichi powder (cardamom powder) and mix thoroughly.
Step 4: Add Cashews and Finish
Stir in the chopped cashews into the halwa. Continue to cook for another until the halwa reaches a desired consistency, becoming cohesive and slightly pulling away from the sides of the pan.
Step 5: Serve and Garnish
Scoop the warm Suji Halwa into a serving bowl. You can shape it into scoops using a spoon or a small bowl. Garnish with additional chopped cashews and silver leaf (chandi vark) for an appealing presentation. Serve warm.
