Suji ka halwa

Rice, Grain and Starch Dishes

Suji ka halwa, also known as mohan bhog, is a type of halva in South Asian cuisine made by toasting semolina in a fat such as ghee or oil and then adding a sweetener such as sugar syrup, honey or jaggery powder. It can be served for breakfast or as a dessert, and the basic recipe of semolina, sugar or honey, ghee and sometimes milk is often varied with dried or fresh fruit, nuts, shredded coconut and other toppings. Wheat flour is commonly substituted when semolina is unavailable, and in principle almost any starch can be used to make it.
