Tips & Secrets
- Slow-roasting the semolina until it is dark golden is mandatory for achieving the authentic professional-grade Punjabi flavor.
- The ratio of suji to liquid should be 1:3 to ensure the halwa remains moist and does not become dry or hard.
- Using pure desi ghee is the absolute secret to providing the traditional richness associated with this festive meal.
- Always fluff the halwa after it rests for a few minutes to achieve a professional grainy texture.
