Sooji halwa(semolina pudding) or suji halwa 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.It has low calories and yet great taste when cooked with jaggery or sugar along with milk or plain water.Usually,it is fed to small kids whose teeth are yet to grow or to elders who are unable to chew.Whatever be the age we love this pudding,as it tastes great when had during feasts,fasts or during heavy brunches/breakfasts at weddings.It has a pan Indian fan following and it is difficult for me to put across where this dish originated.Garnish this with cashews,raisins,almonds,pistachios and the goodness increases multi-fold.Dig in!
