A halwa is a traditional Indian dessert that is made with different types of veggies, lentils, flours, and fine grains which is roasted in ghee with an addition of milk or water and sugar. Out of the many varieties of halwa, Suji Halwa or Suji Ka Halwa is one of the most common and popular halwa desserts in India, especially in North and Central-West India. Suji Halwa is a type of halwa dish made by toasting suji (semolina or rawa) in ghee and then adding in hot water along with sugar. It is a perfect dessert after meal or as a snack in the evening and can also be enhanced by adding chopped nuts and desiccated coconut.According to the food scholars, this dish was brought to India by the Mughals, but it is already listed as shali-anna, present-day Kesari Bhat served mostly in Karnataka, in Manasollasa, a 12th-century work by Someshvara, a South Indian Chalukyan king. Suji Halwa is also known as Sheera in Maharashtra and is an easy to prepare mouth-melting dessert.Though water is usually added in this recipe, in some variations milk is added instead of water and is called as Milk Kesari. For that, suji is not browned like it must be if water is being added. In north India, suji halwa is also made during special occasions such as Pooja or any other auspicious ceremony and is taken as a prasad or it could be made during festivals such as Diwali as well. Nonetheless, since it is a simple and delicious dessert, no excuse is needed to make Suji Halwa and is always a hit with people of ages and can be devoured warm as well as cold.
