1. 1

   Take a deep pan or kadai; heat ghee. When hot add suji; stir it and lower the flame medium to low.

2. 2

   In a separate pan take water, sugar, food colouring and raisins together. Bring to a boil on medium flame and let it boil for a minute.

3. 3

   After a couple of minutes the suji will change colour. Now don't leave it unattended--constantly stir it to avoid burning until a nice brown colour is reached, something similar to the colour of peanut butter.

4. 4

   Reduce flame to slowest wear your thick oven gloves and very carefully add the boiling water to the suji.

5. 5

   The water will splutter, so be careful! Now add the coconut slices and simmer until the water is well mixed and halwa has reached a good thick consistency (please do not boil or overcook else it will harden).

6. 6

   Remove from flame and cover with a lid. This halwa is eaten warm. Can be refrigerated up to a week and heated in microwave.
