DELICIOUS SOOJI/SEMOLINA


Sooji/Rawa Halwa


INGREDIENTS REQUIRED:

  • Semolina(Rawa/Sooji)-100 gm

PROCEDURE:

Step 1
Heat the semolina(using only microwave function) till it turns a little brown.

Step 2
In a microwave safe bowl take a tablespoon of butter/ghee,the roasted semolina,sugar(according to taste) and water(my trick is to give as much water that the semolina will just appear under the water surface) and boil the mixture in microwave high power till the water dries up.

Step 3
Take out the hot mixture;mix grated coconut and crushed groundnuts/cashews(in total about 1/4th of the total mixture) and reheat for 1 min more in microwave high power.

Coconut ladoo/naru

INGREDIENTS REQUIRED:

  • Coconut-1 medium sized,grated
  • Sugar-equal to the amount of grated coconut.
  • Water-about 1 cup
  • Cardamom/Elaichi-2-3, crushed


PROCEDURE:

Step 1

Take  the grated coconut,sugar and water in  microwave proof bowl and microwave it in high Power for 6 min while gently stirring it after every 3 min. 


Step 2

Microwave it again for 2 min 50 sec, take it out, stir it and then again microwave it for 2 min; stirring at an interval of 1 min. To follow this technique is important since if you continuously microwave and don't stop and stir; it will burn.


Step 3

While the mixture is still hot, mix the crushed cardamom/elaichi and quickly roll them into small balls and let it cool at room temperature.
