How to Make Sooji Ka Halwa

• In a deep, heavy based saucepan, melt the ghee add the sooji and stir fry over medium/low heat, depending on how often you stir it.
• At the same time in another pan dissolve the sugar in the water over low heat and keep on simmer, till required.
• Tip- It is convenient to do this in a pan with a long handle because when you pour the sugar solution into the soojee mixture a lot of steam is created, which burns your hand.
• When the Sooji is light brown and gets a glossy look and does not stick together much (which means it is fried enough) add the sugar solution and the cardamom and bring to a boil, then simmer till the liquid is absorbed. At this stage you can stir off and on, not continuous.
• Serve hot, garnished with the almonds.
