Semolina Halwa, known as सूजी का हलवा in Hindi, is a popular Indian sweet dish commonly prepared during festivals and special occasions. It is made by roasting semolina (sooji or rava) in ghee and cooking it with sugar and water or milk until it reaches a soft, pudding-like consistency. Sometimes cardamom, nuts, and raisins are added for extra flavor and texture.
This dish is enjoyed warm and often served in small portions due to its richness. As a dessert, it provides quick energy mainly from carbohydrates and sugars, and some fat from ghee. It contains modest protein and small amounts of micronutrients like calcium and iron from the semolina and added nuts. Semolina Halwa is vegetarian and typically does not contain any eggs or meat products.
