Jauzi Halwa

Indulge in the delectable world of Jauzi Halwa, a beloved Indian dessert that is a true celebration of flavor and tradition. Made from finely roasted semolina, this sweet delicacy is delicately infused with the warm aroma of nutmeg (jauzi) and topped with a generous sprinkle of crunchy pistachios and almonds. Traditionally enjoyed during festivals and special occasions, Jauzi Halwa is not just a treat for the taste buds but also a piece of rich cultural heritage. Its warm, melt-in-your-mouth texture and nutty flavor make it a favorite among both children and adults alike, perfect for sharing with loved ones or savoring in quiet moments of bliss.

Serves 6

Ingredients

Semolina
1 cup
Sugar
3/4 cup
Water
2 cups
Ghee
1/4 cup
Nutmeg (Jauzi), grated
1 teaspoon
Pistachios, sliced
1/4 cup
Almonds, sliced
1/4 cup

Instructions

  1. In a heavy-bottomed pan, melt the ghee over medium heat.
  2. Add the semolina to the melted ghee, stirring continuously to roast it evenly. Cook until the semolina turns a rich golden brown and emits a nutty aroma, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  3. In a separate saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely, creating a simple syrup.
  4. Gradually pour the hot syrup into the roasted semolina while stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Be cautious as the mixture will bubble up.
  5. Continue to cook the mixture, stirring gently, until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency, about 5-10 minutes.
  6. Stir in the grated nutmeg (jauzi) and mix well to incorporate its aromatic flavor.
  7. Remove from heat and transfer the Jauzi Halwa into a greased dish or plate. Smooth the surface with a spatula for an even finish.
  8. Garnish with sliced almonds and pistachios, pressing them gently into the surface for an eye-catching presentation.
  9. Allow the halwa to cool slightly before cutting it into squares or serving it warm. Enjoy this delightful treat with a cup of chai!

Tips

  • 💡 For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of saffron to the sugar syrup.
  • 💡 You can also incorporate a handful of raisins or dried fruits for added texture and sweetness.
  • 💡 Jauzi Halwa can be served warm or at room temperature, making it versatile for any occasion.
