• Sugar 1 cup
• Zarda Colour as required
• Raisins 2-3 tbsp
• Semolina 1 cup
• Water 2 cups
• Cardamom Green Ground 1/4 tsp
• Butter 4-5 tbsp

Pan-fry semolina in a saucepan for about 4-5 minutes on medium heat.

Add sugar, cardamom and water, stirring until no lumps.
Add food coloring until lightly tinted and cook until thickens.

Add shortening/ butter and keep stirring on low heat (the butter will be absorbed by halwa completely).

Add raisins, stir and simmer until the butter separates from the semolina mixture, serve immediately.
