Sooji Halwa

Sooji Halwa is specially prepared during the Kanjak Pooja or after worshipping as prasad. This sweet dish is very easy to cook. You can easily prepare this within minutes. All you have to do is add 2 tablespoons of ghee in the pan and mix a cup of rava/sooji in the hot ghee. Roast sooji until it gets golden. After it changes the colour you can either mix around 2 cups of water or milk according to your taste. Once the roasted sooji absorbs all the water/milk in it, mix sugar according to your taste. If you have dry fruits mix them too. Remember one thing keep the gas flame either medium or low but not high. In case you are making it with water, fry some papad as well to have it along.
