Suji ka halwa, otherwise known as sheera, is a quick and easy semolina dessert that is popular across India and Pakistan. The popularity of suji halwa can be attributed to the fact that is prepared with minimal ingredients and still tastes delicious.

Sooji ka halwa is a delicious pudding that must be tried by everyone. Rich, indulgent, and super easy to make this dessert recipe will be perfect for you.

Tailor it to your preference by mixing in crushed pistachios, almonds, or even raisins for your own personal twist. This halwa recipe is perfect for beginners and sure to be a hit with all who try it.

Suji ka halwa is a classic everyday Indian sweet dish made with fine semolina, sugar, and butter. It really is one of those desserts that anyone can make, but it still tastes so good. Simple enough for a quick treat and fancy enough for a dinner party, you will be making this suji halwa recipe again and again.

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.

Just like mama used to make. My Spanish mum learnt to cook this for my Pakistani dad from my aunt. Sadly, they have both passed away.
Today I made it with for my sister and family. Sis said it was just like mum’s. Perfect 🌹
