Semolina pudding or Sooji Halwa, with the goodness of saffron, pistachios, and cashews are a real treat to your taste buds. It's a quick and easy dessert recipe if you follow the right measurements.
In a saucepan, add water + sugar + cardamom + saffron. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, In a pan, roast suji, semolina over medium-low heat until fragrant. Add ghee and cashews and roast for 2-3 minutes.
Now, add the boiling water to the suji and mix. (The water can splatter so have a lid in front of you while pouring the liquid.)
Turn the heat up to medium-high. Keep mixing until the mixture thickens and starts leaving the sides of the pan.
Once it thickens, cover it with a lid and turn the heat back to medium-low. Let it sit for 5 minutes.

If I am making this for a regular day, I cut down the ghee | clarified butter to half. Rest everything stays the same.
