Ganesh Chaturthi, a 10-day festival that began on 7th September, is marked by offering delicious bhog to Lord Ganesha. Among the favourites is the traditional Sooji Halwa, a simple yet divine dessert.
Ingredients
1 cup Sooji (semolina) 1 cup sugar 3 cups water 1/4 cup ghee 8-10 cashews 4-5 cardamom pods
Step 1
Heat ghee in a pan, add cashews, and sauté until golden. Remove and set aside.
Step 2
In the same pan, roast sooji on low heat until aromatic and golden brown. Boil water separately and slowly add it to the roasted sooji, stirring continuously.
Step 3
Add sugar and cardamom pods, cooking until the halwa thickens and ghee separates. Garnish with sautéed cashews and serve warm for Ganpati Bhog.
