About this recipe

Halwa Delight is a beautifully aromatic Indian dessert that combines roasted semolina, rich ghee, and sweet sugar syrup with the aromatic touch of cardamom and crunchy nuts. Perfect for celebrations or a comforting treat, this dessert is easy to prepare and satisfying to enjoy.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup semolina
  • 1/2 cup ghee
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds, cashews, pistachios)

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat ghee in a nonstick pan over medium-low heat.

    In a separate saucepan, combine water, sugar, and cardamom; heat until sugar dissolves.

  4. 4

    Carefully add the sugar syrup to the roasted semolina, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

    Serve warm, garnished with additional nuts if desired.

Chef's tip

Ensure semolina is roasted properly to bring out the best nutty flavor. Adjust sugar to taste.
