Sooji halwa using condensed milk– sooji halwa is one of the most easiest Indian sweets to make. Its a very popular sweet made all corss India. Its called sooji or suji ka halwa in hindi, sheera in marathi/hindi, rava kesari in telugu and kesari bath in karnataka.
Condensed milk is made by reducing sugar and milk till it gets a thick creamy consistency. Condensed milk is popularly called as milk maid in India. The addition of condensed milk, makes the halwa more creamier and tasty.
I already have a recipe in the blog for sooji ka halwa with water. Have you ever tried making the sooji ka halwa in pressure cooker. Do try it, its the fool proof recipe in getting the most moist sooji halwa.
