Sooji Halwa Recipe

• Sooji halwa is often made in bulk on festive or religious occasions. If you want to make a large quantity, then there is a certain proportion you have to follow.

  The ratio of suji to sugar to water to ghee is 1:1:2:0.5 in a cup or glass measurement. I slightly deviate from this proportion and add a bit less ghee and sugar.

  • Sugar –  For 1 cup of sooji or rava, I add ⅔ or ¾ cup of sugar. So the suji halwa has less sweetness or is just sweet. 1 cup of sugar gives a very sweet taste.
  • Ghee – I also add ⅔ cup ghee for 1 cup of suji. For me, ⅔ cup is a good amount of ghee. Reduce or increase the ghee if you prefer.
  • Water – I add 2.5 cups water for 1 cup of suji.  Though you can even add 2 cups of water. The amount of water can also be increased depending on the quality of the rava and if you want a pudding-like smooth consistency.
