2 cups Water 

How to make Sooji Halwa-Traditional 

Partially melt butter in a wok, and add semolina in it. 

Add green cardamoms after adding semolina, if added in butter before semolina they may burn. 

When semolina roasts nicely to a golden color and gives aroma keep a cup of water ready to add in it as it may burn quickly. 

Add water and then sugar and raisins,almonds and coconut. 

Sugar will melt and dissolve,add 1 more cup of water so that semolina will soften. 

It is prepared very quickly, cook until butter is separated. 

Some people add lemon zest some add 1 tsp of orange/lemon marmalade in it,some like to make it with green cardamoms, butterand semolina only... you can make it the way you like. 

Its a very soft, moist and tasty semolina halwa. 

IMPORTANT NOTES: 

Take sugar a little less than semolina, like if taking semolina 250 grams than take sugar 230 grams. 

Butter should be equal in amount as semolina.
