Chocolate Halwa(Chocolate Semolina)!!

What would you do, when you've dream't one night about seeing some thing like this?....and then you ended up with no sleep at all that same night, kids putting their feets in your lap and you can't even move, with those cramped seats killing your backs...don't ask me, I'm not even in the mood to explain.[img]

Due to mother nature our plane couldn't take off for 7 hours from New york airport to Buffalo airport, sitting in there, cursing our luck....we had to get off and waited another 3 hours for coach to come to take us...it was about 13-14 hours journey altogether...somehow we reached to Buffalo next morning to see Niagara Falls at last!!!!!!!
First thing first we did, thanked God and then Driver for getting us safe on our destination....so the dream of seeing niagra falls at night just broke because of lack of time couldn't stay more in Buffalo..:-(( but, we had the unique experiance to witness niagara and the incredible helicopter ride over the falls......

After seeing this beautiful and breath taking place , we went to an Indian restaurant for our lunch...loved all the dishes..;-))and then waiter asked us about the desserts, would you like kheer(rice pudding) or chocolate Halwa? I wasn't sure about the halwa, never heard or tasted..and was getting fed up with kheer..and in just that time, the owner came over and said to me"Bahnji(sister) pahle chakh ke dekho!(at least try one spoon), so we tasted a bit, I still wasn't sure but my family loved it......after lunch we had to get to the airport  to go Washington D.C, guess what our tour manager hired a Limo to take us to the airport!! My daughter was over the moon!!!!..so whenever I make this dish, this holiday experience comes to mind and we do talk about it....

You will need:-

• 1 cup Semolina fine
• 1/2 cup coco powder
• 1/4 cup chocolate pieces (any)
• 1/2 cup ghee(I used sunflower oil)
• 2 cup milk(any, used skimmed)
• 1/2 cup sugar

Method:-
Heat the milk and leave a side. In a heavy bottom kadai(Pan) heat the ghee and add semolina, roast on a low heat untill roasting aroma comes or turns in to golden colour.(10-12 minutes).  Now add milk ans mix well, add suagr, coco powder and let it cook.  When starts to thicken again add chocolate and let it melt.  Mix everything and become one mass, swithch of the heat. In a greased tray evenly spread the mixture.  Let it cool slightly and cut into diamond or square shape.  Sprinle some icing suger if you wish...  Ready to serve...You don't have to spread, you can have it just in a bowl hot or cold.

Enjoy as much as my family does..I would love to, but I am not too keen on chocolate, so I  use something else..I'll post that recipe soon!!!!!
