Ingredients
- 500 g semolina
- 200 g oil
- 200 g sugar
- 600 g water
Instructions
- Prepare the Syrup:
- In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Toast the Semolina:
- In another saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat and add the semolina. Stir continuously, toasting the semolina until it turns a golden brown color.
- Combine with Syrup:
- Gradually pour the syrup into the toasted semolina while stirring constantly. Be cautious, as the mixture will bubble and steam.
- Cook the Halva:
- Continue stirring the mixture over medium heat until it thickens to your desired consistency.
- Shape and Cool:
- Transfer the halva to a mold or a baking dish. Press it down gently to shape it evenly. Allow it to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate.

- Once chilled, sprinkle cinnamon on top before serving.
