[shwetapraha]

Very sweet auntyji..thanks for making all these so easy...a we can enjoy it being far away from India..

[ruchmuch]

Hi Ma'am, the suji halwa turned out to be very delicious and helped me serve guests who came in unexpectedly...thanks to your quick recipe that saved my day! by the way I added some grated dry coconut and it tasted very good :)

[Yavie]

how do you cut it into squares.. bake it or just let it cool?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@Yavie just let it cool

[MsHaseebahmad]

I am Muslim,soji and all kind of halwa are very common among Muslims and are made very often this is not fixed for special occasion.

[NAZRANASIDDIQUI]

@MsHaseebahmad Yeah I totally agree this isn't fixed for any special occasion or any religion........ it is being made in most of the asian countries........

Hope you dont mind Manjula Aunty.

You are good in your work.

[vinodmmm]

Aunty ji..

your recipes are simple and easy to make!

[lookerseeker79]

aunty, i have extra browned it in the past, and found that it leaves an unpleasant taste...how do you get rid of that taste, extra sugar ?

[lookerseeker79]

Auntiji, i think you burnt your sooji....atleast in this video

[Manjulaskitchen]

@lookerseeker79

I like this dark color

[engineheatx2]

@lookerseeker79 this is the not burnt ...its prefect

[brookabeex33]

[srp712]

Hi antieji, I wanted to know the cup size i grams or ml.

[Leena3941]

Hi Aunty....I always cook after seeing your video. You teach very nice. Also, I trust your videos and they every time turns out good. Thanks.

[SoulQuest7]

This was an easy recipe. I used more cardamon (3/4 tsp) and a quarter cup of mixed pecans, walnuts, and golden raisins which I added at the very end.

[divineraman]

आंटी जी ,

कृपया यह भी बतायें की क्या यह सूजी का हलवा आटे के साथ बन सकता है.

रमण...मेनचेस्टर, इंग्लेंड

[divyanshuarora1]

i think the cardamons , raisins, almonds should be added before the water syrup to be added.

[Dhanvantaran]

Hi, would it be ok to use ghee rather than butter?

[BakshiCool]

Very good programes. I am sitting in one corner of Germany. Its beautiful little town but there is no Indian shop or shop. With the help of this programme I can cook anything. From main course to desert. Thanks for uploading this show and stay healthy. Bakshi

[CARPEoDiem]

Looks great! I love your videos, hunny:) is this similar to Iranian/ Persian Halva?

[bigpiratestation]

Hello Manjula mam, I just have one question: as I've never been able to work out the 'cup' system, do you know roughly how many grams/milimetres one cup is?

Thanks a lot

[sumofallfearable]

mouth watering here i m hungry and there mam cookin sooji ka halwa.....

[varadaritwick]

Nice and easy way to learn this way...:)... thanks

[babboosgirl]

Just wanted to thank you Manjula......I have tried so many of your recipes....and my fiance' who is from India loves everything Ive made........all thanks to you......When we return to India I will cook for his family all of your recipes............thanks again.....

[AllUrUtubeRbelong2me]

I feel so silly. RIght there in the description is the answer to my question!!! Sorry!

[AllUrUtubeRbelong2me]

Manjula, you are awesome. I have a question for anyone who knows: Is "Sooji" basically the same thing as "Malt O Meal" or "Cream of Wheat"? Isn't it all SEMOLINA or FARINA? I don't live close to an Indian market so if I could use that stuff it would be great.

[ChaitanyaSatsang]

Manjula devi You are the greatest thank you, Devarsi

[alexutting]

I'm going to make this tonight to give me a break from study!

It was my favorite Indian desert when I was in India!

SO EXCITED that its so easy to make!!

[m196960]

Lovely recipe. I just love your videos. I cook for my two adopted Indian children. They are from Chennai and I do not want them to become so American.

[deciphyer]

Thanks. It turned out quite tasty. Little too sugar for my taste.

I also added raisins.

I boiled the water with sugar instead of microwaving.

[izeinoun]

Yes... thank you very much for teaching us good indian cooking.

[zerothought]

[vineela005]

[shakjojazz]

I have been making Sooji Ka Halwa for long time, with much consistency. I figured out what I was missing (Sheera, mixing water and sugar). Thanks again Majula Aunty. Me and my wife are huge fan of your cooking...

[Gr8Teaist]

I followed your recipe; and I am enjoying a warm plate of the Halva right now. I had only tried it cold before, but this stuff is absolutely delicious hot or cold. Thanks again!

[blasianmuslimah]

I learned to make it the same way from a Pakistani friend of mine, except instead of white sugar she used brown pure cane sugar, and milk instead of water, and sultana raisins.

[goelshikha2001]

Mam, can we grind the cardamom and sugar together and a then make a syrup?

[smilemerry]

[Davar2davar]

Hi manjula auntie,

[gopalrelkar1]

@Davar2davar

[SidAmina]

[thevikas87]

Happy Diwali Manjula auntie, thanks for the halwa! Please keep posting recipes!

[paganpixieprincess]

Namaste~Thank so much for this lesson. This is a recipe I grew up on and have been looking for.

[BanderaBuddy]

Excellent!!!!

[BanderaBuddy]

My husband is from Pakistan. We are Halva at a restaurant in Dallas. It was my first time tasting it and this receipe is as great as the one in Dallas. You made it so easy to make. Thank you! Your receipe's are all so very good.

[javadara]

Cool! This paci taught me how to cook!

[sumanbhard]

Thank you auntyji...your recipe was really good...my halwa was just yummy!!!

[Ran2046]

Looks delicious, I'll make some ! :)

[jilmillie]

Thank you for doing this Auntie ji! This is really helpful for people like me who like to visualize before making something! This was my first time making halwa and my family loved it when it made on Janamastami!

[1809988]

in balcan we also make halva, but instead sooji we put flour

[sparkleofinnocence]

Auntiji, I made this for my husband, and he loved it very much. Thank you. Looking forward to more of your delicious recipies :D

[maharajaneela]

Thanks so much Aunty Ji! I'm making this for my husband's birthday tomorrow :)

[larcm1]

COOL! Now I know how to make Prashaad.

[smartangel50]

Thank you auntiji

u helped me so much this is my favorite halwa but i never attempted to make it because i was scared to do so with out prior knowledge thank you so much again

[angaar69]

aunty jee.. thank you very much... am a student in a foreign land... and was missing my moms cooking... thanks for helping me out... this was really easy... and tasted great..

[falconso]

thanx a million aunty

is very easy

thanx again to every1 who took there time in making this video including the camera man

[ActionMovieGirl]

thank you aunty. i'm an american married to a bengali, so i rely on people like you sharing wonderful recipes so i can still give him a taste of home. look forward to checking out your other recipes!

[sumitpuri]

wow!! thanx aunty.. i just came to US 3 months back and eating only rice and dal.. this is the first time i made sooji ka halwa here.. and it was awesome!! thanx a tonne!!

[eden1963]

I've eaten this when I've gone with my landlady. You can add raisins if you like.

[birthdaygirlmichelle]

i have tasted this before and i really enjoy it and its nice to see how its made too.

[Piklethedoodad]

I detect caloric density similar to the crust of a neutron star... Why must something so good be so bad for you -.-

[torresmatt]

You don't have to make this with butter. I've seen recipes that are literally just tahini, sugar, water and whatever other flavorings you want in it (coffee, chocolate, nuts, whatever).

[VPP111]

Thanks. You teach like mom, once again thanks for all the work,and even to the person recording it,to take all the time

[SampAkhil]

Hello Manjula Aunty

Thank you very much for giving easy and wonderful recipe of 'Sooji Halva' I am going to try it soon :)

I like the way you explain recipies.

[matiuna]

Hi, auntie. Everything looks greate, but for tell you really the true, I think you was speaking too much, and forget to mix enough in haalwa, so you burned it. But I think it was tasty, becouse you was prepare it. Best of luck, and give to us much more your recipees.

[ventana54]

If you have Cardomon pods can you add them to the syrup before you boil/microwave it? (if so how many pods?)

[pesar909]

helllo there manju auntie... i just stumbled upon this by chance but i am so happy to have found it. your recipe is so good and i am looking forward to trying the other recipes that u have. and what i really like auntie is that u explain them so nicely and simply, no complicated and technical terms. thanx so much. i am here in korea so far from home but i feel like i am in india because thanx to you i can make these sweets at home.. once again, good work auntie. god bless

[kalragh]

Manjula ji,

can I make the sheera with a combination of milk & water?. If so - pl give me the details-thanks

[VPP111]

Manjula Aunty your receipes are really good.Thanks for all the work. Can you show how to make Paneer chilly Dry(chinese Indian style) as we don't get in Dallas

[ritutulsian]

i donnot use Microwave, as its not good for health...could u kindly tell me as to how long to cook t sugar syrup on gas?...

[VPP111]

take 500 ml water and 1 cup sugar and boil it for 5 mins on medium heat ur sugar syrup is ready.Don't get it to thick in texture

[gmahan]

I had sooji halwa for the first time at an restaurant attached to the Hare Krishna temple in Dallas. I had no idea what it was, but was going to be brave and try something new. It was delicious!

Thank you for posting the recipe so that I can make this at home!

[zouzourox]

i put this cause my granny made sooji halwa! I luv sooji halwa! It's simply a delicious, mouth-watering tates!

[kumaran87]

Hi Manjula aunty, My mother wants to know where did you purchase and the brand of the stainless steels pan that you are using.Thank you.

[parveen65]

dis is ma favrite i use to add pineapple in seeraa its maky really yammy

[pattilloyd]

Dear Aunty Manju, thanks sooo very much for this reciepe, it turned out great & we are now enjoying the taste of Pakistani Seeraa Puri in Sydney, Australia.

Much Luv,

Patricia.

[cybermica]

Hi Manjula Ji, i was wondering if we can use milk also in this recipe..

[SoulQuest7]

I add golden raisins in addition to nuts to mine at the end of cooking-- hot deserts are the best!

[ambers82]

Thank you for sharing. I love halva, I've never tasted the Indian type (I'm Iranian, we usually make it with flour, saffron, and more butter/oil). Sooji halva sounds tasty, if sooji and semolina are the same ingredient I'm able to try it :)

[humbleRaj]

I love this with puri/poori.

Wow!!!!!!!!! Halwa puri reminds me of my Mom!!!!!!!!!!

But am in Taiwan for my Research. cant get this.

[guesswhoamilolok]

i think my mom used to make with milk...if i am not wrong..can u substitue water with milk?

[Jalilm123]

Salam

Thanks a lot for your time and putting these beautiful receipies. Halwa is not only popular in Hindu Culture but also in Pakistan and you will see a lot of Halwa Puree shops all over across Pakistan, and here in UK, I still make halwa (though with a different receipt). Thanks again for the receipie.

[TammySingh12065]

Namaste ji,

Thank you for your time and these wonderful dishes. I'll be sure to make them for my husband Monu ji :)
