Sooji ka Halwa / Semolina Pudding
You ask any Indian about this halwa (pudding), and they will instantly start drooling over it. Yes, it is that common dessert in India. I might take the liberty to call it the “national pudding” of India. No seriously!
Not only India, it is relished in many middle eastern countries as well. Such an easy recipe and done with only few ingredients. It can not get better than that! It is often made to celebrate anything and everything in India. If no other dessert is available, this halwa comes handy any time and every time. It is also made to celebrate the festivals in India like that of ashtami and navami to wind up the navratris.
Though the original recipe calls for the equal quantities of Semolina, Sugar and Ghee but I have modified it by cutting down the ghee by 1/2 the quantity and believe me it came out fine, rather tasty and not as heavy on our systems. Again a recipe, shared by my mom. Simple! Delicious! Evergreen! Indulging! Festive! All together.
Some other Halwa recipes from the blog are – Gajar ka Halwa and Besan ka Halwa .
This is how I made it!
Enjoy this traditional Indian semolina pudding from my Indian American Kitchen and cook it up in your kitchens!
Happy Cooking everybody!
