One Pot Suji ka Halwa

To make One Pot Suji ka Halwa, start by heating ghee in a pot. Add 1 cup of suji (semolina) and roast it until it turns golden brown. If you choose to use besan (gram flour), add it at this stage and roast for a few more minutes. Next, mix in 1 cup of sugar and stir well. Carefully add 4 cups of water while stirring continuously to prevent splattering. Cook the mixture until it thickens and the ghee begins to separate. Finally, add 0.5 cup of roasted dry fruits and mix well before serving.

One Pot Suji ka Halwa is not gluten-free as it is made with semolina, which contains gluten. However, you can substitute semolina with gluten-free alternatives like rice flour or ground oats to create a gluten-free version of this delicious Indian dessert.

If you don't have ghee on hand or prefer a dairy-free option, you can substitute it with coconut oil or a neutral vegetable oil. Keep in mind that using these alternatives may slightly alter the flavor of the halwa, but it will still be delicious!

To store leftover One Pot Suji ka Halwa, let it cool completely and then transfer it to an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. When you're ready to enjoy it again, simply reheat it in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of water or milk to restore its creamy texture.

One Pot Suji ka Halwa pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful contrast of temperatures. You can also serve it alongside a cup of masala chai or coffee to enhance the overall dessert experience.
