To make semolina halwa tasty, it's important to add the right amount of milk and sugar. I've used carrots to make the semolina halwa not only tasty but also colorful, which enhances the flavor. Kids love colorful dishes and often ask for them again. When I made sago and carrot halwa, everyone at home loved it, so I decided to make halwa by adding carrots to semolina. The second time I made this halwa, I took step-by-step pictures.

Ingredients

4-5 servings
  1. 1 cupsemolina
  2. 1large red carrot
  3. 1/2 cup+ 1 tablespoon sugar
  4. 4-5green cardamom pods
  5. Dry fruits as needed (cashews, raisins, almonds, and pistachios)
  6. 2 1/2 cupsmilk
  7. 1 teaspoonmilk powder
  8. 3 1/2 tablespoonsghee (half melted)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Clean and grate the carrot. After grating, it should measure 1 cup. If the carrot is too thin, you might need an extra one. Chop the dry fruits into small pieces. Remove the cardamom shells and crush the seeds. Heat a pan and roast the semolina on low heat until it turns light red. Once roasted, transfer it to a plate.

  2. 2

    Wipe the pan with a clean cloth or paper towel. Place the pan back on the stove, reserving 1/2 tablespoon of ghee, and add the rest. Once the ghee melts, add the grated carrot and sauté until soft, then add the roasted semolina. Sauté for 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add sugar and dry fruits. Mix well and add the milk. Cook the semolina until the milk is absorbed. Then add the crushed cardamom and milk powder, mix well, and turn off the heat. Add the reserved ghee and mix.

  4. 4

    Serve the halwa hot. If someone wants to eat it later, reheat it before serving.
    Note: You can increase the amount of carrot for a better color. In Mumbai, ghee in containers is usually half melted, so consider the state of your ghee before adding.
