Sooji Halwa

Here you go again, another sweet recipe in my blog. Very easy to prepare and tastes good too. 

Ingredients:

Sooji (Rava) - 1 Cup

Sugar - 1 cup

Butter - 1/2 cup

Cream - 1/2 cup

Water (or Milk) - 2 Cups

Food color (optional) - 1 pinch

Salt - 1 pinch

Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp

Cashew nuts - 1/4 cup

Procedure:

1. Melt Butter in a non-stick pan. Add Sooji and mix well. 
2. Fry Sooji till it slightly changes the color. Add sugar, salt and mix well.
3. Mix food color in the milk and keep adding it slowly to the above mixture. Keep mixing continuously to avoid formation of lumps.
4. Add cardomom powder to the cream and add it slowly to the above mixture while mixing it continuously.
5. Cook on medium heat and keep mixing till the butter starts leaving the halwa.
6. Grease a nonstick pan and add the above halwa mixture and spread it evenly. 
7. Once cooled, the Halwa becomes a bit hard. Cut it in to desired shape. 
8. Fry cashew nuts in ghee till they turn golden brown and place them on a paper towel to remove extra ghee. 
9. Place the fried cashew on the Halwa pieces and press them gently so that they stick to the sweet.

Enjoy with a group of friends and family

Note: Food color and Cashew nuts are optional. Make sure you cook that Halwa till it starts leaving ghee.
