Suji is just another word for semolina. For this suji ka halwa recipe, it is best to use the fine variety. It won’t affect the taste, but it will give you a smoother consistency of halwa.

You can reduce the sugar and butter according to your own personal preference. I like to use white sugar, but you could use jaggery if you want to.

Cardamom powder is a common flavouring, but you could flavour it in many ways. As with most Indian dessert recipes add in your choice of dry fruits and nuts. I like adding a mix of pistachios, almonds, and raisins, but it is entirely up to you.
