Ingredients
For the Halwa
- 1/2 cup Semolina sooji
- 1 tbsp Cocoa Powder unsweetened
- 4 tbsp Ghee
- 1/2 tsp Cardamom Powder
- 1/2 cup Sugar granulated
- 1-1/3 cup Water boiled
Instructions
Preparing the Halwa
- Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan or kadhai over medium heat.
- Once the ghee melts, add the semolina and roast, stirring constantly, until it turns light golden brown and fragrant. This takes about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the cocoa powder and mix thoroughly to ensure no lumps remain.
- Gradually add the boiled water, stirring continuously to prevent the halwa from becoming lumpy. The mixture will thicken.
- Stir in the sugar and cardamom powder, mixing well until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the halwa simmer for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnishing and Serving
- Transfer the halwa to a serving bowl. Garnish with the sliced almonds and cashews.
- Serve the Chocolate Semolina Halwa warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Chocolate Semolina Halwa
- Use good quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor. Dutch-processed cocoa powder will give a richer, deeper color.
- Toasting the almonds and cashews before garnishing enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch.
- If the halwa becomes too thick, add a tablespoon or two of warm milk or water to adjust the consistency.
- For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg or a few drops of vanilla extract along with the cardamom powder.
