Suji Halwa/ Sooji Ka halwa recipe
This Suji Halwa has been made with ghee (Clarified butter) and sugar following the traditional way. I like the Suji well roasted, thus I have made it similarly, it alters the taste much if it is roasted less. Vegans can go for olive oil instead of ghee, it tastes amazing as well.
- 1 cup Sooji/Semolina (I have used the fine sooji here)
- 1/2 cup Ghee/ Clarified butter (Alternative options for Vegans Oilive oil)
- 1.5 cup Sugar
