When one thinks of celebration in an Indian household, most often, we start with something sweet. It could be laddoos, barfis, kheer, or a thick and delicious halwa. Made with ease and prepared in a jiffy, festivities are incomplete without a bowl of halwa, with atte ka halwa and sooji halwa being the most common varieties.
While the former is made with wheat flour, the latter is a semolina-based halwa. The dish is prepared by continuously stirring sooji or rava in ghee. The soft and light texture of the halwa makes it a favourite desi dessert. Now that we have already considered it a sweet meat, it would be hard to imagine this delightful treat in the form of breakfast. However, it is possible by adding some fruity delights to the halwa.
It is not unusual to have sooji halwa for breakfast, because it is often paired with poori. But we are talking about a sooji halwa breakfast bowl. Confused? The sooji halwa is slathered on the base of the bowl and turned into a breakfast bowl with loads of fruits and nuts on top. If you’re wondering how to go about it, here’s how you can make this breakfast bowl yourself at home.
