This is the halwa everyone loves. Roast semolina in ghee, mix in hot water and sugar, then stir in chopped walnuts and soft dates. It’s simple, rich, and always a hit.
Add grated coconut while toasting the suji for a hint of sweetness. Dates melt into the mix and give it a soft texture. Great for festivals or family dinners.
Use jaggery instead of sugar for a deeper flavor. Caramelize the walnuts in ghee before adding them in. It’s warm, bold, and full of crunch.
A few strands of saffron soaked in milk take this halwa up a notch. The rich color, warm spices, and mix of dates and walnuts make it feel extra special.
Spoon halwa into small bowls or molds, then fill the center with crushed walnuts, chopped dates, and a touch of honey. Easy to serve and fun to eat.
