Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat the ghee in a pan. Fry the cashews until light golden, then stir in the almonds and raisins.
  2. Fry until the raisins plump. Set aside some nuts and raisins for garnish if you like.
  3. Lower the heat and add the semolina to the ghee. Fry on low to medium, stirring constantly.
  4. Meanwhile, heat the water until very hot but not boiling.
  5. When the semolina is light golden and aromatic, carefully pour in all the hot water at once.
  6. Stir well to avoid lumps. Cover and cook until the water is absorbed, a few minutes.
  7. Stir in the sugar and cardamom powder. The halwa will turn runny. Taste and add more sugar if you like.
  8. Cover and cook until the sugar dissolves and the halwa pulls away from the pan and ghee starts to separate. Add extra ghee now if you prefer.
  9. Turn off the heat and stir in the rose water if using, then the reserved nuts and raisins if set aside.
  10. Serve hot or warm.
