Rawa halwa recipe details
Ingredients
175 g | coarse semolina, couscous |
125 g | butter or ghee |
100 g | granulated sugar |
10 | green cardamom pods, lightly crushed, the seeds extracted and ground |
25 g | blanched flaked almonds, toasted |
25 g | sultanas |
25 g | raisins |
450 ml | milk |
almonds, sultanas and pistachios to garnish |
Instructions
In a heavy based or non stick pan, gently dry roast the semolina unitl it is light brown.Add the butter or ghee and fry for 5 to 7 minutes, constantly stirring, until it is golden brown. Over a low heat, stir in the sugar, ground cardamom, almonds, sultanas and raisins. Gently fry for one minute, stirring, before stirring in the milk. Cover and leave for 1 to 2 minutes.
Then raise the heat and cook until the mixture thickens and becomes moist.
Serve hot or cold, garnished with extra fruit and nuts and maybe a slice or two of lemon, lime or orange for colour. (With the butter it can become quite thick when refrigerator cold, so I warmed mine again.)
