Ingredients

(Serves 2)

½ cup Fine Sooji (Semolina)
1½ tbsp Ghee (low-ghee version)
2½ cups Water or Unsweetened Almond Milk
2–3 tbsp Jaggery powder or raw sugar (adjust to taste)
¼ tsp Cardamom powder
1 tbsp Chopped cashews or almonds (optional)
1 scoop Plantigo Plant Protein Powder for Muscle Gain – Unflavoured
2 tbsp warm water (to mix protein)

Steps to Make the Low Ghee Sooji Halwa Recipe

1. Roast the Sooji

Heat ghee in a heavy-bottom pan on low flame.

Add sooji and roast slowly, stirring continuously, until aromatic and lightly golden. This step builds depth without excess fat.

2. Add Liquid Carefully

Gradually pour in warm water or almond milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

Cook on low flame until the mixture thickens and the sooji absorbs the liquid fully.

3. Sweeten & Flavor

Add jaggery powder and cardamom. Mix well and cook for 2–3 minutes until the halwa turns glossy and smooth.

4. Add the Protein Boost

In a small bowl, mix the protein powder with warm water to form a smooth slurry.

Lower the flame and gently fold it into the halwa, cooking for 1–2 minutes so the Plant Protein integrates seamlessly without altering taste or texture.
