Searching for a quick suji ka halwa recipe for breakfast or festive dessert? This classic semolina halwa is made in just 15 minutes and needs only basic kitchen ingredients. It’s sweet, warm, and perfect for family gatherings, Eid, or even as a weekend treat.
Suji ka halwa is also served with puri in desi breakfasts, but it’s equally loved alone with tea or after meals.
📖 A Short Story:
Growing up, every Friday breakfast at our home was puri, chana, and suji halwa. It brings back memories of warmth, early morning hustle, and the amazing smell of ghee in the kitchen. Now, I cook it on special mornings to feel that same comfort.
