1 cup = 200 ml

  • 1/2 cup Suji/semolina 92g

  • 3/4 cup Sugar 180g

Instructions
 

  • Add 2 tbsp of milk in a microwave safe small glass bowl and microwave for 30 seconds on high power. Our microwave has high powder of 900 and remember, entire recipe will be made on high power till the end.

  • While suji is getting microwaved, it will keep on changing its colour from white to light brown. Also it will stick to the bottom of bowl but no issues. Just scrap it using wooden spatula.
  • After 7 minutes of roasting, add melted desi ghee in suji.
  • Mix well.
  • Microwave for 2 minutes.

  • Now add sugar, cardamoms, saffron soaked milk, raisins and warm water. Remember, water has to be warm only otherwise with cold water, your bowl may receive cracks.
  • Give them a good mix.
  • Microwave for 3 minutes, stir, microwave 2 minutes and stir.
  • Your suji ka halwa in microwave is ready. Enjoy warm.

Notes

  1. Suji is dry microwaved/roasted for 7 minutes, in desi ghee for 5 minutes and 4 minutes after adding water.
  2. You may roast suji for more time if likes halwa of dark colour.
  3. Roasting and cooking time may vary depending on quantity of ingredients and high power of your microwave. Its already mentioned that over oven's high power is 900.
  4. For the accurate ratio, measure the ghee only after melting it.
  5. If don't have saffron, then skip the milk and saffron part.
  6. Instead of saffron, you can add pinch of yellow food colour or even can totally skip colouring halwa.
