How to make yummy suji ka halwa/pudding made with ghee (clarified butter), sugar, sooji (semolina), and water.
I don’t think, any other dessert is there which can be made fastest than suji ka halwa. In my childhood two popular sweets, my mother used to make i.e. suji ka halwa and other one is payesh means kheer or flavored rice pudding. These two are very popular and tasty sweets in India which are prepared very frequently almost in every house. During festive seasons these sweets are offered to God also. In suji ka halwa the main ingredients are sugar, water, Ghee (clarified butter) and suji, but the ingredients differ place to place and the name also. Here I am using water.
