With the hustle-bustle of the Indian festive season all around, I can’t help but feel the joy and excitement in the air. The sudden change in temperature has brought a smile to my face. And of course, all the sugar and deep fried goodies being consumed does play a good part in keeping spirits high! While I’ve slowly started to think and plan what my annual Diwali party dinner spread would comprise of, I have started to however, work my way through my treasured stash of tried and tested family favourite treats during this celebratory time. Yes, the slight chill in the evening air does make me find comfort in my food. I remember a time not so long ago, when all I would eat on cold wintry nights were bowlfuls of hot chicken-noodle soup. Now, times have changed – and with it, so have my moods evolved. I do still enjoy the occasional soup, but I find myself on most days craving comfort food from my childhood and fond memories of the past. When I stepped to my kitchen today to make something quick for dinner, I had this sudden urge for a bowl of warm Halwa. But not just any kind of Halwa; what I wanted specifically was Sooji Halwa, also known as Semolina Halwa. A quick peek into my pantry assured me that I had everything I needed to make this sweet treat. Which to be honest, is really nothing much, which is why this recipe is perfect to come to your rescue whenever the yearning for something sweet hits you. If you enjoyed this recipe, then you will surely love my Vegan Sooji Halwa (Semolina Halwa) and Gajar Halwa (Carrot Halwa) recipe as well. Tried this recipe?
