Suji Ka Halwa

Things You Need
4 sticks of unsalted butter. 2 cups of unsalted butter or desi ghee
3 cups of Suji, Cream of wheat or Farina
6 cups of water
6 cups of sugar
10 cardamon seeds
20 Sliced Almonds

How to Make it

Take a shallow pan. place on the stove and turn stove on medium heat.
Add butter and let it melt.
Add Cardamon seeds
When butter is completely melted, add Suji and let it cook on medium heat.
Constantly mix with spatula so it wont get burn. constant stirring helps to cook evenly.
Keep mixing until you get a very very light golden color, At that time you will also starts to smell the fragrance produced by butter and Suji.
Turn the stove low and slowly add sugar cup by cup. Stir until Suji and Sugar are completely mixed.
Now slowly add the water. Be careful mixture might splatter. Once it settles turn the stove back on medium heat. Cover the pot with the lid
Cook for 5-7 minutes. Mixing occasionally so the mixture don’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
Cook to the desired constancy. I like mines creamy and not too dry because it gets little harder when cools. Recommend to keep it on softer side.
Let it simmer on very low heat for 2 minutes.
Transfer Halwa to your serving dish immediately.
Sprinkle Almond slices on it.

Serve with Naan or Puris (Fried Pita Bread)
