Growing up, this has been one sweet that is made on all special occasions from birthdays to anniversaries to auspicious days and needless to say that beautiful aroma in the house makes us all look forward to it even more 🙃 So on this beautiful day of Janmashtami, I don’t have an ideal panjiri recipe to share but certainly here to spread sweetness and only good feels through one of the most requested recipes, the one most special to my heart cos this ones made my MOM 🥰
.
What’s cooking? Episode 8 - Sooji Halwa, so here’s closing the series “The Desi Thali 1.0” with the Finale episode - well it had to be this one 🙃 Happy Janmashtami to all those celebrating, wishing you smile and shine always ✨ Ingredients and Instructions ⬇️

Ingredients 
3/4 cup sooji + 1/4 cup atta
1/2 cup sugar
3 cups water 
1/2 cup ghee (melted)
1/4 cup crushed roasted nuts (only almonds will do or almonds + cashews) 
.
.
Recipe 
🧡 In a pot, combine water + sugar and place on a stovetop. Bring it to a boil.
🧡In a pan add ghee, warm it up- add sooji + atta (whole wheat flour) begin to combine. Stirring continuously on low medium heat roast flours for approx 15-20 mins, until it turns aromatic and brown but not burnt. Remember to keep stirring, a lot of arm exercise must happen to get this right 
🧡 Once flours are done, turn gas to lowest, slowly add hot sugar water stirring slowly in one direction  but continuously to avoid any lumps. Bring heat back to medium, keep stirring and let cook for 10-12 mins. 🧡 Add roasted nuts and continue to fold, continue to do so until halwa thickens and comes together to desired consistency. Optional to finish with a dollop of ghee, this brings a nice shine.
