Suji ka Halwa (Hindi: सूजी का हलवा, Marathi: रव्याचा शिरा, Urdu: سوجی کا حلوہ) or Mohan Bhog (Hindi: मोहन भोग, Sanskrit: मोहन भोग) is a type of halvah made by toasting semolina (called suji, sooji, or rawa) in a fat like ghee or oil, and adding a sweetener like sugar syrup, honey, or jaggery powder. It can be served for breakfast or as a dessert item. The basic recipe is made with just semolina, sugar or honey, ghee, and sometimes milk. Variations on this include dried or fresh fruits, nuts, shredded coconut, and other toppings. Wheat flour is often used as a substitute if semolina is not available, but virtually any starch can be used to make Suji ka Halwa.
