i was cooking suji halwa after many months today (had a baby so). I suddenly forgot the recipe ..!!?? I roasted the sooji with ghee and then added sugar and realised i dont know what i am doing ... and kept wondering when and how to add water and how much, cold or warm? I made upma many times before but was getting confused with halwa.
Friends, pls help. mini replied. So i hv 2 mthods now! One to add water+milk to sooji and other to add sooji to water. Thats where exactly i was getting confused.

While making upma i add sooji to water(tadka wala water). That makes the recipe dry types and khulla-khulla and non-sticky. I thought same must be true for halwa but then was not sure about when to add sugar.

I will try both these ways. I was also not using milk before. Will let u know which method goes how.

Thank you abc replied. Take the right measurement.
1 cup soji needs 1cup of water and 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup or lesser ghee, cardamom and raisins according to taste.
Boil together the milk and water. Keep aside. At the same time roast the soji on ghee at low flame, then add the water/milk mixture. Then add the sugar .turn off the gas,Let it cool a bit, then add the cardamom powder.Add the raisins to the ghee in the beginning. k replied. 1 cup sooji (semolina)
1/4 cup ghee
2 cups sugar
4 cups water/Milk(varies on he consistency you want)
