Suji is a Cuisine of India and a kesar/saffron-flavored variation of this is the Kesari sheera. Suji is served as a breakfast or a dessert item. The normal variety though is unflavoured and prepared with just semolina, sugar, ghee, and milk.

As it is easy to prepare, it is often favored as a breakfast item, especially with pooris, in other parts of India.

Historical usage

In Medieval Arab cuisine, semolina was cooked with water, honey, camphor, saffron, and sesame oil.[1]

In 14th-century Spain, semolina was cooked with almond milk, oil and optionally saffron for coloring.[2]

In England circa 1845, baked semolina puddings were recommended by renowned cooks such as Eliza Acton.[3]

Suji ka Halwa
gollark: Er, you need three diamonds.
gollark: Where it shines is in performing random useful tasks which there isn't dedicated hardware available for, linking together disparate systems (much more practically than redstone), working as a "microcontroller" to control something based on a bunch of input data, and entertainment-/decorative-type things (displaying stuff on monitors and whatnot, and music with Computronics).
gollark: For example, quarrying. CC has turtles. They can dig things. They can move. You can make a quarry out of this, and people have. But in practice, they're not hugely fast or efficient, and it's hard to make it work well in the face of stuff like server restarts, while a dedicated quarrying device from a mod will handle this fine and probably go faster if you can power it somehow.
gollark: I honestly don't think CC is particularly overpowered even with turtles. While it can technically do basically anything, most bigger packs will have special-purpose devices which are more expensive but do it way better, while CC is very annoying to have work.
gollark: Out of all the available APIs in _G the only ones I can see which allow I/O of some sort directly and don't just make some task you can technically already do more convenient are `fs`, `os`, `redstone`, `http`, and `term`. You can, at most, probably disable `http` and `redstone` without breaking everything horribly, and it would still be annoying.
