Instant Sooji Halwa Mix- Ready to make sooji halwa mix, a quick semolina dessert mix
Instant Sooji halwa mix/ Sooji Halwa Premix - Sooji Halwa/ Sheera is a very popular Indian dessert. Fine Semolina is roasted in ghee and then sugar ,water and milk is added and cooked till it thickens. You can add your favourite dry fruits in it i.e cashew,almonds,raisins . Cardamom powder and saffron is added for flavour.
Though making sooji halwa is quite easy but the ratio of sooji ,water and sugar has to be perfect else it will not taste good. The perfect roasting of semolina on low heat is also very important. The roasting time depends on individual choice, as some prefer a very light colour sooji halwa and some prefer to roast it to a nice golden colour like I do.
