    1. Yes, you can definitely add dates and skip the sugar. Just make sure to use soft, seedless dates and chop them finely or blend into a paste for even sweetness. Add them after roasting the suji, along with the water or milk, so they blend well into the halwa. You may need to adjust the quantity depending on how sweet you want it.

  1. I have made Halwa following your recipe so many times and it turns out perfect. I refer to the proportions every single time just to be sure.

    This one time I forgot to check and I put 1:1 sooji to sugar ratio and it turned out to be very sweet. Is there any hack to reduce the sweetness once it is prepared?

    1. Thank you Vindhya. Some hot milk or hot water can be added to the halwa. The milk or water will help in cutting down the sweetness. But me mindful when adding so as not to make the consistency runny.

      Since the halwa would have been thickened once cooled, in a pan or skillet, add in some hot water or hot milk to the halwa. Keep the heat to a medium-low and gently simmer the halwa. Add some more of the hot water or milk and simmer until you get the right consistency.

  2. The look and feel of the halwa was beautiful. I have not tasted it as yet but I am sure it will be good based on previous recipes picked from here.5 stars

  3. You are my first choice to check for any recipes since many years. All your recipes turn out to be super duper tasty and so foolproof.Though I love experimenting and make recipes since I was a kid, but I still cross check your recipes for measurements be it dhokla, halwa or any snacks recipes. Thank you Dassana.
