Add water to the sugar.

Keep the pan on the stovetop on medium-low to medium heat. Stir with a spoon to dissolve the sugar.

Bring water-sugar solution to a boil.

Pour the bubbling water-sugar solution in the suji mixture slowly. Stir continuously.

Mix very well so that lumps are not formed.

The suji grains will begin to absorb the water and swell.

The halwa mixture will start thickening. Keep stirring often.

This picture shows the thickened halwa mixture, which is still soft, moist and has a pudding-like consistency.

Once all the water is absorbed, you will notice the change in the texture. The ghee will also be visible at the sides.

Keep stirring and cooking till you get the final texture of the suji ka halwa like in the picture. To know more, swipe up!
