Directions

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Fry Cashews

Heat the ghee in a pan and add cashews. Fry them until golden brown and keep them aside. Crush lightly with a mortar and pestle. This adds crunch and nutty flavour to the halwa.

 

Description - Step 2

Step 2: Roast suji

Add suji to the same ghee and roast it on a low flame. Stir continuously to avoid lumps and ensure even roasting. The suji should turn golden brown and give off a nutty aroma.

 

Description - Step 3

Step 3: Add Water and Sugar

Pour in water carefully and add sugar. Stir well so the sugar dissolves completely. Keep mixing to avoid lumps as the mixture starts to thicken.

Description - Step 4

Step 4: Cook Halwa

Let the mixture simmer on medium flame. The suji will absorb the liquid and start reducing in volume. Stir occasionally to get a soft, fluffy texture.

Description - Step 5

Step 5: Flavour with Cardamom

Once the halwa thickens, switch off the flame. Sprinkle cardamom powder and mix gently. This gives the dish its festive aroma.

 

Description - Step 6

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Top the halwa with fried cashews and raisins. Serve warm as prasad after puja or as a festive sweet.
