Steps:
- Split the cardamom pods with a sharp knife and remove the seeds. Grind the seeds to a powder with 1 tsp of the sugar using a pestle and mortar. Keep the empty pods for the syrup.
- Heat the remaining sugar in a pan over a medium heat with 600ml water until dissolved. Add the empty cardamom pods and simmer, uncovered, for 5 mins. Turn off the heat, cover the pan and set aside.
- Heat the ghee in a wok or karahi over a medium heat, then add the semolina or flour. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring all the time, until it releases a toasted aroma and turns a biscuity golden colour, about 10 mins.
- Take the pan off the heat. Discard the empty cardamom pods from the warm syrup and pour it over the semolina in a thin, steady stream, stirring all the time. Take care - it will sputter. Return the pan to a medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the semolina thickens. It should have the consistency of creamy mashed potato. Stir in the ground cardamom, drained raisins and most of the sliced almonds. Serve piping hot with the remaining almonds scattered over.

SEMOLINA HALWA
My friend Chandra gave me this recipe years ago and the only thing I changed is that I use water and milk. Her family recipe used just 2 cups of water. To me this is very sweet. If you don't have a very sweet tooth cut down on the sugar used in the recipe. I like it best cold (it tastes less sweet then when its warm) and serve it as a dessert after an Indian dinner, cut in wedges or diamond shapes and sprinkled with some very finely chopped nuts. It reheats easy in the microwave if you should prefer it warm. Ghee/clarified butter is sold in Asian supermarkets. If you want serve with some whipped cream.

Steps:
- Heat 250ml water in a pan until boiling, then stir in the sugar and food colouring, if using.
- Remove the seeds from the cardamom pods and discard, then add 3 of the cardamom husks to the pan. Boil for several minutes, then transfer to a heatproof jug or bowl.
- Heat the ghee in the same pan, then add the remaining cardamom husks and the pistachios. Fry for 1 min, then add the semolina. Toast for a few minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Return the hot sugar syrup to the pan, stirring continuously to avoid clumping until all the liquid has been absorbed. The cooked halwa should mould together easily. Scoop out the cardamom husks and serve hot with puris or parathas, if you like.

DIVINE SEMOLINA DESSERT - SUJI HALVA
This is a recipe from Kurma Das, the world best vegetarian cook. I can vouch for this dessert, it is TO DIE FOR. To many aficionados of Hare Krishna cooking worldwide, halava rates on top of the list of their favourite dishes. It's hot, buttery, sweet, flavoursome and completely satisfying, especially on a cold winter's day. In this recipe, the humble semolina teams up with the world's two most expensive spices - saffron and cardamom. Enriched with sultanas and flaked almonds, serve fluffy, plump grained halava hot with cream, custard, or as is for an epicurian experience.

Steps:
- Combine the water, sugar and the soaked saffron in a 2-litre/quart saucepan. Place over moderate heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
- Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to very low and cover with a tight-fitting lid.
- Melt the butter in a 2- or 3-litre/quart saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.
- Add the semolina, and slowly and rhythmically stir-fry the grains for about 20 minutes, or until they darken to a tan colour and become aromatic.
- Add the flaked almonds to the grains towards the end of the toasting process.
- Raise the heat under the syrup, add the cardamom and the sultanas, and bring it to a rolling boil.
- Raise the heat under the semolina for 1 minute, stirring continuously.
- Remove the saucepan of semolina from the heat, and slowly pour the hot syrup into the semolina, stirring steadily.
- The grains may at first splutter, but will quickly cease as the liquid is absorbed.
- Return the halava to the stove and stir steadily over very low heat until the grains fully absorb the liquid, start to form into a pudding-like consistency, and pull away from the sides of the pan.
- Place a tight-fitting lid on the saucepan and cook over the lowest possible heat for 5 minutes.
- A heat-diffuser works well. Removed the covered saucepan from the heat and allow the halava to steam for an additional 5 minutes.
- Serve hot.

GREEK HALVA RECIPE (SEMOLINA PUDDING WITH RAISINS)

- To prepare this delicious Greek halva recipe, start by preparing the syrup. Add all the ingredients into a pan over high heat and bring to the boil. Boil until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup slightly thickens. Set aside, but keep warm.
- In the meantime, roast the almond silvers into the oven at 180C. Although the traditional Greek halva recipe doesn’t include almonds, it’s always a nice addition, which gives extra flavour and crunchiness.
- Heat the oil in a large pot and add gradually the semolina. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon to allow the semolina to absorb the oil. When the semolina starts to bubble, turn the heat down and allow to toast until golden (whilst constantly stirring). The more you toast the mixture, the darker it will become. Just be careful not to over toast it, as the semolina will burn and the halva will become bitter.
- Remove the pot from the stove and pour in, slowly, the warm syrup. Don’t forget to remove the lemon peel, cinnamon and clove!

- Stir the semolina continuously until it roasts evenly and turns golden in color, about 10-12 minutes. Depending on your stovetop, you may need to raise the heat to medium to help it come to the roasting point. Then lower the heat as needed. Remove from heat once the semolina is well roasted and has turned golden. You can also continue on to the next step while roasting the semolina.
- In a separate small saucepan, bring the water, sugar and cardamom pods to a boil. Stir, and allow to simmer until the sugar is dissolved, and then remove from heat and add the rose water and saffron.
- Place the semolina mixture back over medium heat. Stir this sugar syrup carefully into the browned semolina. Continue to stir for a couple of minutes, until the mixture thickens, loses most of its moisture and the butter starts to separate from the semolina. Sometimes I like to add a dollop of ghee at this point to give it a nice finish.
