Preparation Steps
Roasting the Sooji
Heat ghee in a pan (kadhai). Add the sooji and roast it on medium flame until it turns light golden and releases a pleasant aroma.
Frying the Dry Fruits
Add a little ghee and fry the cashews and almonds. Add raisins at the end, as they puff up quickly. Remove them and keep aside.
Adding Water & Sugar
In another pan, heat water and add sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Add cardamom powder for flavor.
Mixing Process
Slowly add the hot water mixture to the roasted sooji while continuously stirring to avoid lumps.
Final Cooking
The halwa will start thickening gradually. Once it begins to release ghee, it is ready. Mix in the fried dry fruits.
Final Touch
Serve hot and garnish with extra dry fruits on top.
