Semolina and Wheat Flour Halwa | Suji aur Aate ka Sheera

semolina and wheat flour halwa or suji aur aate ka sheera is a tasty, melt in the mouth halwa made with semolina and wheat.

It is a popular halwa made in North India, often called as suji aur aate ka halwa.  A simple dish that can be made in a jiffy.

Suji is the Indian name for Semolina and whole wheat flour is called Aata in Hindi. Hence the name suji aur aate ka halwa.

The method of making this halwa is very similar to suji ka halwa except for the addition of wheat (aata). Suji (semolina/rava), whole wheat flour, ghee, sugar, cardamom and dry fruits are used to make this melt in the mouth, moist halwa.

The addition of crunchy nuts and the subtle scent and flavor of cardamom, is a combination to die for.
