Prepare liquid
While the semolina is roasting, add water and jaggery powder to another pan. Simmer this mixture for about 7 to 10 minutes. Both semolina and jaggery water need to be hot when combining.

Mix and cook
Gently pour the hot jaggery liquid into the roasted semolina. Stir continuously to avoid forming lumps. Cover with a lid and cook the halwa till it slightly thickens and the semolina is cooked through. If you feel it is not cooked, then add hot water as required and cook for a few more minutes.
