Directions
Divine Semolina Dessert – Suji Halva, This is a recipe from Kurma Das, the world best vegetarian cook. I can vouch for this dessert, it is TO DIE FOR. To many aficionados of Hare Krishna cooking worldwide, halava rates on top of the list of their favourite dishes. It’s hot, buttery, sweet, flavoursome and completely satisfying, especially on a cold winter’s day. In this recipe, the humble semolina teams up with the world’s two most expensive spices – saffron and cardamom. Enriched with sultanas and flaked almonds, serve fluffy, plump grained halava hot with cream, custard, or as is for an epicurian experience., ?, Lovely. used brown sugar and half the amount and it just right. Made it plain for my kids who avoid nuts and raisons. They loved it. You can use ghee and press it to make bars and add all sorts of goodies like sunflower seeds, walnuts etc etc to make nutrition bars
