One of the most known desserts of Ottoman Cuisine semolina dessert. It has been made in our homes for centuries. Sometimes it has milk, sometimes pistachio, but always has a mild flavor.
When halvah If I dry it, it will make me sad. I always think of those who have left, whenever we lose a loved one, the women of the family are the ones who are lost. halvah roasts and offers condolences to those who come. I really wonder how this tradition came about.
Without getting too sad, without deep thoughts halvah I'll leave you alone with my recipe.

See you…

- When the semolina reaches the color you want, add milk. Be careful because it emits quite a bit of heat.
- Cook on low heat until the semolina absorbs the milk.
- Take it off the heat and mix it 1-2 times, when it is well on top of it like rice.
- Let the pot brew for 10-15 minutes with the lid closed and serve warm.
I made it yesterday. It was very good. It would have been better if I had roasted the peanuts dry first. So, when the color of the butter darkened until the color of the peanuts changed, I shortened the roasting time of the semolina. But the taste was very good.
I made it because my son, who is now studying in Isparta, wanted sweets, it was great, thank you very much for sharing.
I made the recipe but it was mush. Does anyone know why it's mush? I didn't know that I was drinking too much water.
Thank you very much, I tried many recipes, I was hesitant in the first 3 months, but it was good, like rice, do it without hesitation, I recommend it to everyone.
I put some cream with a pinch of salt and butter. It was great, I recommend it. I also fry the sugar a little more with semolina before its water. The liquid and sugar ratio is good. Good luck to you..
I tried it too, it was super but it was less. If I make it from 2 glasses of semolina, I will use 4 glasses of liquid, so will there be a change in its consistency? love..
I made your recipe with water instead of milk. I am from Western Thrace, I found the taste of my region that I missed and loved very much. It was delicious, thank you.
I did too but it was like mush.
Leave the lid closed to let it brew a little longer, or cover the lid with a towel, such as rice, and remove the extra moisture.
We will make peanut and semolina at the same time, right?
Yes
I used equal amounts of milk and water. It was successful even though I did it for the first time, we liked it very much. Thanks for the recipe.
Hello there
After adding the milk and water mixture, cook on low heat. You wrote, or will we cook with the lid closed?
Thanks
Yes, the lid will be closed.
I tried your recipe and it was very good, thanks :)
I did too much sugar
Ms. Nilay, how much water and milk do we need to use if we make the full package?
If 2 glasses came out after measuring the package with a water glass, make the other measurements x2. If 3 comes up, continue like x3. Yours sincerely
I did it, it was very nice
If I do it with oil, will it smell???
I haven't tried it with oil before, unfortunately I don't know.
The recipe is super, the taste is super :) Thank you very much.
I haven't made it for a long time. My son is coming today, I will make it for him. I hope it will be delicious. KNOWLEDGE
Friends, when I did it, it was very scattered, I also don't like it, I wonder what can I do
Ms. Serpil, this recipe is for Semolina Halva, if this halva is in grains like rice... What you're talking about is flour halva... As soon as it gets sticky... They also call it Spoon Halva because it's shaped with a spoon... The recipe given here fits my grandmother's and my mother's recipe, I That's how I do it, the result will be great… Good luck to you, bon appetit…
I cooked it tonight to take to my mother-in-law, it was very good :) Thank you.
We liked it very much, thank you.. I ate it somewhere, it seems a little wet, I wonder how it is done ????
The oil content may be too high.
You also make sherbet for it and add it.
Hello Nilay,
I did it yesterday and we were a great family as a family. Thank you so much.
Greetings Sibel
Hello, do we need to increase the syrup to make the semolina dessert wet? How can we make a moister semolina halva?
I made the recipe and it was perfect...thanks a lot :)
Throw a clove into the sherbet
Thank you very much for your recipe, we are following your site. In short, is olive oil used in desserts? Thanks in advance..
Hello, first of all, thank you :) I think you should not add olive oil, if your oil is acrid, it will be astringent. It can also affect its smell.
The recipe is perfect, the result is perfect, thank you…
Indeed, if I had known that I would be so successful in my first semolina halvah, I would have made this recipe earlier.
I can't thank you enough, nilay lady. again, your recipe is a good taste. While I was still smoking, I thought my sweetie would comment right away. I benefit a lot from this site. good luck to your hands and work… :-)
now i did it, it's great and it's all in one thank you... have a blessed Mevlid candle
It was delicious.. Thank you..
Good luck with your hands :)
it was great, I just made it, now I'm eating it with pleasure, thank you... :))
A glass of milk or water is probably not used in both, I'm asking to understand correctly :)
You will use a total of 2 glasses of liquid. It can be just water or just milk, but the two are better mixed.
I have too much sugar, what can I do?
You can add some salt to balance the sugar.
Hi friends.
After I roast the semolina for a while, I add sugar and continue to fry it. Thus, the sugar also caramelizes, and at the end I add ground green pistachios and water and leave it to brew like rice. That caramel taste suits the halvah, of course, on pistachios. Bon appetit.
I followed your recipe exactly and the result was great. I also got full points from my wife :) Thank you..
Hello there,
I discovered a very, very simple semolina halva and I make it once a week. And if you eat it with ice cream, it's super delicious.
Dr. Oetker's has semolina halva. It is very easy to cook. No frying, no sherbet.. I recommend it to everyone :))
:)))))
i did it now it's great thank you so much
