Sooji Halwa Recipe!

Sooji Halwa marks the beginning of many auspicious occasions. In India, people use this dish to worship God. It is a quick and easy recipe made from Sooji (Rava), Sugar, Ghee and Water. You can also add nuts like Almonds and Raisings to enhance the taste. For further taste enhancement, some people also like to add cardamom powder but I don’t prefer it. I prefer my halwa my way. Let’s see how I make it.

Preparing this recipe requires constant attention. The moment you take your eyes off is when you will end up spoiling it for yourself. So make sure you make it when you have enough leisure time to stand in the kitchen. Also, it is very important to maintain the ratio of different ingredients used else it won’t give you that flavour and consistency.
