#bandhan - Sooji halwa is an easy and a quick dessert which can be prepared in no time. It is a very common sweet dish that is prepared for any festivals and is best had as it is or with poori. The latter tastes simply delicious. The same is also known as Rava Kesari down South.

Today I added some custard powder to sooji and finished it off with some rose water to enhance the flavour. Garnish this halwa with some chopped nuts and have them preferably at room temperature or warm.
