Sooji ka halwa

Ingredients:
    1/2 cup sooji (rava, semolina flour)
    1/4 cup ghee (clear butter)
    1/3 cup sugar
    1 1/2cup water
    Pinch of cardamom powder
    1 tablespoon sliced almonds for garnish

Method:
    Boil the water with sugar, and cardamom powder in a pan over low medium heat. Bring to a boil and Set aside.
    Melt the butter in a frying pan on medium heat.
    Add sooji and roast to golden brown color; stirring constantly this will take about 5 to 8 minutes. Sooji will be golden brown in color and will have a light sweet aroma.
    Add the syrup slowly, as you add the syrup to sooji water will splatter.
    Turn down the heat to medium low and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes.
    Sooji will absorb the water, as the Halwa cools so keep Halwa a little more softer then you want.
    Garnish with almonds.
