Suji Halwa in 20 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Heat the ghee in a heavy-bottomed non-stick pan or Kadai over medium flame.
2. Add the suji and stir continuously for 5-7 minutes until the grains turn golden brown and release a nutty fragrance.
3. Add the sliced almonds and pistachios during the last 2 minutes of roasting to toast them in the ghee.
4. Dissolve the sugar in water (warm in a separate pot for faster results) and carefully pour the syrup into the roasted suji, stirring rapidly to prevent clumps.
5. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring frequently.
6. Add the cardamom powder and saffron.
7. Continue cooking for 3-5 minutes until the halwa thickens and the ghee begins to glisten and separate from the edges of the pan.
