Instructions
1- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Unpack the Britannia Marie Gold biscuits using a knife.
- Break the biscuits into smaller pieces and transfer them into a food processor or blender jar. Grind into a fine powder.
2- Roast the Biscuits:
- Heat 1-2 tablespoons of ghee in the pan.

- Add the roasted biscuit powder back into the pan with the roasted suji. Mix thoroughly.
- Gradually pour in the milk, stirring vigorously to prevent lumps as the mixture thickens.

- Add the granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves, and the halwa becomes smooth and glossy.
6- Flavor the Halwa:
- Grind the cardamom pods into a fine powder and add to the halwa. Stir to evenly distribute the flavor.
7- Roast the Nuts and Raisins:
