Halwa Boorelu

Ingredients:

Godhuma rava (Sooji/Semolina) - 1 cup

Sugar - 1 cup

Cashews - 2-3 tbsp

Cardamom powder - 1/4 tbsp

Water - 3 cups

Ghee - 2 tbsp

Oil - to deep fry

For making batter:

Besan flour - 1/2 cup

Rice flour - 1/2 cup

Salt - as per taste

Baking soda - pinch

Water - as required

Procedure:

1. Take a wide nonstick pan, add sooji and roast it under low to medium flame until it slightly changes its color. Now transfer this sooji in to a bowl and set aside.
2. In the same pan, heat 1 tbsp of ghee, add broken cashews and fry them until they turn to golden brown. Transfer them in to other container until used.
3. In the same pan, add water and heat it. When water is boiling, slowly add roasted sooji by continuous stirring without forming any lumps.
4. Once the sooji is cooked, add sugar, remaining ghee, fried cashews and mix well. Cook the mixture for few minutes.
5. Take a wide mixing bowl, add besan, rice flour, baking soda, salt, water and mix well to get a smooth batter (the batter should not be too loose).
6. When the halwa reaches to room temperature, take a small portion and make in to balls of desired size.
7. Meanwhile heat a kadai with oil. When oil is sufficiently hot, dip each halwa ball in to batter and drop them in oil. Fry them until they turn to nice golden yellow.
