Suji er halwa (Semolina pudding)

OK! So, I will start with the sweet/dessert recipes. The first one is suji halwa. This is a very easy and quick recipe to make and very tasty as well specially if you have a sweet tooth. So here we go.


Ingredients:

100 gm suji (semolina)
3 Tbsp sugar (or more to match your taste)
100 ml warm milk
Boiling water (as required)
1Tbsp ghee/ butter
1 Bay leave
1 green cardamom
Few cashew nuts
Few raisins


Method:

Dry roast the semolina until the sweet aroma comes out of the semolina and it turns light brown. Remove it from the heat and set it aside. Heat the ghee/butter now, fry the cashew nuts and set aside. Add the bay leave, cardamom to the remaining butter and fry for a while now add the roasted semolina and mix well, then add the sugar, milk and the water and keep mixing until you get a homogeneous mixture stirring it continuously. Now add the raisins and the fried cashew nuts and mix well. Serve hot.

Optional : you can add little bit of orange food colour or a bit of saffron diluted in the warm milk. This will give a different dimension to the dish.
