Sooji halwa Recipe | Semolina pudding with jaggery

Sooji halva or suji halva is one of the easiest and simplest sweets ever made. It is very tasty and healthy as semolina is extracted during the durum wheat bran separation. Making sooji halwa/semolina pudding with jaggery makes it iron rich. You may make it with milk or plain water. Some people also call it gur ka halwa /gur da halwa in Punjab. You can make it with both sooji and wholemeal flour. I remember having it in by-lanes of Amritsar very close to the Golden temple. I love the gur version more as I like to use natural sugars wherever possible. However, if you would like to make sugar version ,click here.

When do we eat sooji ka halwa?

Usually, it is fed to small kids whose teeth are yet to grow. It is also a treat for those elders who are unable to chew. Whatever be the age we love this pudding. It tastes great whenever you make it. You will find its presence in feasts, fasts or during heavy brunches at weddings. You will find it as prasad in Satyanarayana Pooja. Hence, people make it every Sankranti or Poornima. We also make it during udyapan of Navratri fast twice an year and serve it along with poori and kale channe.
