Sooji Halwa is one of the most common Indian sweet/dessert for any occasion a sooji halwa would never go wrong and for me I will make this halwa or Seviyan Kheer (Semiya Payasam) for most of the festive, occasions or for Naivedyam as these are simple recipe, every one likes it and also makes my work easy. With few ingredients always available in pantry we can make this halwa in no time.

Halwa is common breakfast recipe in our home, in my parents home Atta Ke Halwa is more popular and at in-laws place suji halwa is prepared more for breakfast. I know lot of you must be thinking halwa for breakfast but yes it works as I said in my mung dal pakoda recipe these are common breakfast items.

In our place halwa is considered good if shaping using any mold it should retain shape and when scramble it should separate well without being sticky, this takes time to achieve perfection but you will get it. The below recipes works well for me always and hope it will do for you too but due to rava quality some times you have adjust water quantity.

If you are in rush or having sweet craving then suji halwa is one of the best option or to please last minute guest it's fits the bill too. So enjoy sooji halwa or shira as some calls it and the festive session.
