Mango Sooji Halwa, How to make Mango Sooji Halwa Recipe – Mango Semolina Pudding

One of my favorite Indian Dessert and morning breakfast is Sooji Halwa. I have just made a slight variation by adding summer fruit mangoes to Mango Sooji Halwa. Mangoes + sooji = Mango Sooji Halwa. What is Sooji? it’s nothing but semolina you could also call it as Mango Semolina Pudding! Mango gives a nice fruity flavor to Mango Sooji Halwa. We all loved them back home and my friends and neighbor also found them yum. I feel like having them again today 🙁 phew I just love Sooji halwa made from my mom missing them too much these days.

Sooji is commonly known as Rava, sheera in India. Sooji Halwa is made during auspicious occassion and also during festivals. Most households in india make them for breakfast as semolina is good for health. I also love Sooji Halwa served as prasad in temples they taste just out of the world espescially the sathynarayan puja prasad. I just love it. The best part is my pet also loves them 🙂

Sooji Halwa is easy to make. It’s prepared in various ways like some add nuts, some add saffron, some add bananas. Any ways Sooji Halwa tastes great. I have added milk to increase its nutrition value and the flavor. Also Sooji Halwa should be made always in pure ghee (clarified butter). The aroma of ghee, cardamom and semolina will make you crazy. You also get Sooji Halwa in resturants but I prefer making them home. Simply because I can make the way I want to, eat how much I want to plus make in ghee and not lard. Upma from semolina is quite popular dish across India.

Off late my maid isn’t feeling well and not been coming from 3 days so all work I got to do (: so I decided to keep all work at bay today and focus on my blog. Off late I have changed 2 maids and one is greater than another. Guess I can write stories on them 😉 and guess you too 😉

6 to 7 crushed cashewnuts
6 to 7 crushed almonds
1 tbsp cardamom-nutmeg powder
2 tbsp charoli (Buchanania Lanzen)

In the same pan add ghee place on low heat.

Once ghee is hot saute crushed cashews and almonds for a minute.

Put roasted semolina gradually and keep stirring. Ensure no lumps are formed. It should be smooth also add charoli. Finally add chopped mango and salt.

Keep stirring continuously the mixture will start thickening. Once it starts getting thicker. Switch off the gas. Serve hot with tea Or coffee. Garnish with nuts.
Tip:

• It’s good to roast semolina and store in a container. As this process helps semolina to live longer and safer from worms.
• You could add bananas instead of mangoes.
• Ensure you keep the fire on low mode while making Sooji Halwa.
• If you don’t have cardamom-nutmeg powder at home. You could add vanilla powder Or essence.
• Milk gives nice flavor, aroma and boost factor to the Sooji Halwa. However if you don’t like milk Or you are a veagn you could replace water with milk.
