- 1
In a separate saucepan, combine water and sugar, bringing it to a boil until the sugar dissolves completely to create a simple syrup.

In the same pan with remaining ghee, add the suji (semolina) and roast on low-medium heat, stirring constantly.
- 4
Continue roasting the suji for about 8-10 minutes until it turns a light golden brown and releases a nutty aroma.

Slowly and carefully pour the hot sugar syrup into the roasted suji while stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

Add the cardamom powder, saffron (soaked in milk), and the fried nuts and raisins.

Cook the mixture on low heat until the water is absorbed and the halwa starts to leave the sides of the pan.
