YUM!!

I will explain this further later but I wanted to post it before I forgot what it was called.

Halva (Semolina pudding)
Ingredients:

1/2 C semolina (cream of wheat)
1/4 C sugar (to taste)
1/4 C butter or ghee (clarified butter)
1 C water
1/4 tsp cardamom powder
1 Tbsp raisins
2 Tbsp sliced almonds
Method:

• Mix sugar and water in a pan, bring to a boil and set aside.
• Heat the butter or ghee in a frying pan. Add the semolina, raisins and cardamom powder and fry until it is very lightly golden brown in color. Constantly stir to ensure even browning.
• Add sugar water slowly (it may sputter!) and stir rapidly to prevent lump formation.
• Cook over medium heat until the water gets completely absorbed.
• Immediately place the warm halva in a bowl, tray or individual serving cups or molds. It will become firm as it cools.
• Garnish with almonds, walnuts or raisins if desired.
