SEMOLINA HALWA
My friend Chandra gave me this recipe years ago and the only thing I changed is that I use water and milk. Her family recipe used just 2 cups of water. To me this is very sweet. If you don't have a very sweet tooth cut down on the sugar used in the recipe. I like it best cold (it tastes less sweet then when its warm) and serve it as a dessert after an Indian dinner, cut in wedges or diamond shapes and sprinkled with some very finely chopped nuts. It reheats easy in the microwave if you should prefer it warm. Ghee/clarified butter is sold in Asian supermarkets. If you want serve with some whipped cream.

Steps:
- Put the semolina in a heavy bottom dry pan, cook over a medium heat until it turns a light golden brown, this is the tricky part because when you think nothing is happening it burns.
- The browning can take approx 10 minutes, shake the pan at times.
- Put the browned semolina aside.
- Boil the water and milk in another pan, add the sugar, salt, cardamom and the coconut, simmer Melt the ghee and fry the nuts and sultanas on a medium heat for a few minutes, add the nuts and the ghee to the water/milk mixture.
- Then add the semolina, stirring all the time, it will thicken gradually, mine is usually ready in 5 minutes.
- You are looking for the consistency of soft mashed potatoes.
- Transfer to a serving dish.
- Serve hot, warm or cold.

[email protected]I was disappointed with this recipe. The semolina halwa was dry and crumbly, and the flavor was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
