Main Course

Rava(Sooji) Halwa

A traditional Kerala sweet that balances richness with restraint. Made with jaggery, coconut, and a careful hand, the sweetness is warm rather than overwhelming — the kind of flavour that lingers.

2 cup Semolina Rava/Sooji
5 tbsp Ghee
2 cup Milk
1 cup Sugar
3 tsp Broken cashew nuts
3 tsp Dry grapes
1 pinch Kesari Powder for getting good colour for the halwa. If colour is not required then kesari powder can be avoided
