Semolina (Sooji)- 1 Kilogram

Sugar- 1 Kilogram

Dry Coconut- 1 Cup

Cashew & Almonds- 1 Cup each

Method:

In a Wide Mouthed Wok (Metal Kadhai preferably), Heat Ghee

Add Sooji in the Ghee Stir Continuously till it is Light Brown (Process of Bhuna)

This process is important so Stir constantly till the Rich, Nutty Flavours are released

Add Sugar & Keep Stirring

Add Dry Coconut & Stir

Add Cashew & Almonds & Stir

Add Raisins & Stir till the Raisins Swell up

Add Water & let the Starch in the Semolina Gluttonize (means the filling up of water molecules so that the Sooji swells)

Keep Stiring while the Sooji & Water Boils

Check to see if ready (the Halwa should be thick)
