Nepali Style Semolina Pudding (Suji ko Halwa) Recipe :)

Today I was craving for something sweet. I was tired of eating spicy meals everyday and therefore wanted to give my taste buds as well as my tummy a break. I had bought Suji (Semolina) to make pani puris and as soon as I saw it, I decided to make Suji Halwa. Back home my mom used to make it once in a while. I wanted to recreate something like that and as always with a little twist, I was able to make this crazy delicious Suji Halwa. I will post recipe of Wheat Halwa (my personal fav) in future post, until then enjoy step by step process to make Suji Halwa :)

Love this :D
