Eid Halva

1.In a large pan, heat the ghee over medium heat until melted.

2.Add the semolina to the pan and roast it until golden brown, stirring constantly to prevent burning. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

3.In a separate pot, bring water to a boil.

4.Slowly add the boiling water to the roasted semolina while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

5.Reduce the heat to low and let the semolina cook, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.

6.Add sugar and ground cardamom to the semolina mixture and stir well until the sugar dissolves completely.

7.Continue cooking the mixture on low heat until it reaches a pudding-like consistency, about 5-10 minutes.

8.Remove the pan from the heat and let the halva sit for a few minutes to thicken further.

9.In a small pan, lightly toast the almonds and raisins until fragrant.

10.Sprinkle the toasted almonds and raisins over the halva for garnish.

11.Serve the Eid Halva warm and enjoy the rich, sweet flavors of this festive dessert.
