Long time no see , I mean a recipe! 😀 this semolina halva is very easy dish to make in Turkey. I believe lots of Mediterranean countries have same but different version of it. We usually use pine nuts, but I used almond slices for it. If you don't have molasses it's okay too. My mom doesn't use it, she uses a packet of vanilla . Rae -

A while back I received a few emails from fellow bloggers 🙂 that were interested in finding out if there was a greek cake that did not have any almonds or fruits. 🙂 So here it is the Semolina Cake otherwise known as Halvas. It is purely made from Semolina, Olive Oil, Sugar and Cinnamon…and a bit of Lemon.A completely different taste than the usual cakes because the intensity of the Semolina just stands out when taking a bite. If you enjoy trying out new tastes try this dessert you might just love it. 🙂 Foodzesty -
Moong Dal Halwa Moong Dal Halwa
It's usually made on festive occasions like Diwali, Holi etc. But, when you and your family members are foodies, then it can be made any day at your home. I learnt to prepare this halwa from my Mom. She's the best Cook in this world and this is my #favourite halwa recipe. The whole process of halwa takes a lot of work from yours hands as you've to continuously stir, stir and stir in order to avoid bumps in it and so that the mixture can be cooked properly throughout.The halwa can be made in non-stick pan or normal kadhai. I prefer non-stick pan as it would help in easy stirring and also for the smooth texture of the halwa. The Psychological Foodie -
