1 tablespoon lowfat butter (heart foundation recommended) or canola oil
Almonds (grated)/Raisins
2-3 Cardamom, coarsely powdered
Preparation
Add sugar to water and mix well. Keep aside.
In a skillet (kadahi) take ghee and sooji and cook for 5 minutes. Add oil/butter and cook for 20 minutes on medium heat, till the sooji turns light brown. With the skillet on the stove, add cardamom powder and raisins, grated almonds, then add water-sugar solution slowly, stirring with a spoon and allow the water to evaporate (it would take about 5-7 minute).
Garnish with a few grated almond pieces.
Serve sooji halwa warm.
Note: This sooji halwa recipe uses only 2 tsp ghee and use butter or oil. This saves a lot of calories from saturated fat in ghee. Don't be surprised for the use of oil. No body can notice any difference in the taste. Just try it. We have used it several times and all have relished our sooji halwa made according to this recipe.
