SOOJI (SEMOLINA HALWA)
This recipe is slightly altered from one I found on the internet. My son and I love it, but try to restrict yourself from eating it daily!

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, bring water, sugar, and raisins (optional) to a boil, set aside.
- In a small to medium saucepan, heat ghee.
- Add semolina, cardamom.
- Sauté until light brown, stirring constantly.
- Add water/sugar/raisin mixture.
- Heat and stir until halwa reaches the consistency of thick mashed potatoes.
- Remove from heat, add almonds.
- note: I like to cook the halwa with the raisins but discard them (I don't particularly care for raisins).
- I also sauté the almonds in a bit of ghee, but that isn't necessary.
- To make ghee: Heat 2 sticks of butter in a saucepan on med-high until boiling.
- Turn down heat to med-low and cook for several more minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Ghee will take on a weird plastic-like appearance at the top and smell like caramel.
- Strain the ghee through cheesecloth and a fine strainer.
- Save what isn't used in an airtight container (it does not need to be refrigerated).
