For Sooji Halwa
1 cup sooji
1/2 cup ghee
1 cup sugar
2 cup milk
1/4 tsp cardamom powder
2 tbsp sliced almonds & pistachios for garnish
Boil the milk with sugar, and cardamom powder in a pan over low medium heat. Bring it to a boil and set it aside.
Melt the ghee in a frying pan on medium heat. Add sooji and roast to golden brown colour, stirring constantly. This will take about 10 minutes. Sooji will be golden brown in colour and will have a light sweet aroma.
Add the milk syrup slowly, as you add the syrup to sooji it will splatter.
Turn down the heat to medium low and let it cook till all liquid is absorbed.
When done, transfer a little halwa in a square mould to give it structure.
Unmould it and place Luchi Crisps on all four sides.
Garnish with chopped Almonds and Pistachios.
Sooji Halwa is a popular traditional sweet. It is made from semolina (sooji), sugar, milk and loads of ghee. It is infused with cardamom powder and garnished with dry fruits which gives it its unique aroma and crunch.
Chef Akanksha pairs the much-loved sooji halwa with luchi crips which gives it a nice crunch. Sooji Halwa with Luchi Crisps is irresistible.
