It is basically a baked semolina pudding made with ground almonds, semolina, ghee, khoya (reduced milk solids)and saffron.<\/p>\n<p>To make this halwa the mixture is first cooked on flame then baked in the oven on low. In olden days they baked on charcoal ovens with burning charcoals on the top and bottom of the baking dish. But the heat was kept on low and controlled by dextrous hands. It was baked on low heat for a long time till it became crusty at the top and at the base. The crust is a delicacy and we as kids would fight for it as it was the best part of the halwa. This halwa is what you would die for, as it is so insanely delicious!!<br \/><span id=\"more-4763\"\/><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to make the real Dum Ka Rote Halwa at home!

I am dedicating this recipe to one of my readers who was badly craving for it and requested me to create this recipe. The recipe for Dum ka rote has been rotating in our family for many years. But it called for eggs which I did not like at all. It gets a different texture like custard when you add eggs to it. Then I thought what is the difference between <a href=\"https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/anday-ki-mithai-shahi-egg-sweet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shahi Egg Sweet<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/anday-ki-mithai-shahi-egg-sweet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ande ki mithai<\/a>), another popular dessert in Chennai and dum ka rote?\u00a0 Both have the same ingredients and taste. So I started experimenting and after many trials and errors perfected the recipe. Those who have tried my recipe tell me that it is like Basha\u2019s halwa or even better.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the recipe:<\/p>\n<p><b>Ingredients:<\/b><br \/>100 g coarse semolina<br \/>250 g unsweetened khoya (dried milk solids)<br \/>375 g sugar<br \/>250 g ghee (clarified butter)<br \/>150 g whole almonds<br \/>1\/2 cup almonds chopped or sliced for garnish<br \/>2 \u2013 4 tbs melon seeds for garnish<br \/>1\/8th tsp Saffron<br \/>1 cup half and half \/ whole milk (for soaking semolina)<br \/>1 \u2013 2 tbs hot water (for soaking saffron)<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/dum-ka-rote-halwa-300x117.jpg\" alt=\"Dum Ka Rote Halwa\" width=\"668\" height=\"261\" border=\"0\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/dum-ka-rote-halwa-baked-semolina-pudding\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Dum Ka Rote Halwa\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/dum-ka-rote-halwa-300x117.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. Pre heat oven to 350\u00baF. Soak semolina in 1 cup half and half or whole milk till it gets soaked well for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>2.\u00a0Grind the almonds with half the sugar in the food processor till reduced to a fine powder. Transfer to a bowl.<\/p>\n<p>3. Cut the Unsweetened khoya (Nanak Khoya or Bapu ka Khoya) into small cubes. Pulse and blend them in the food processor with the remaining sugar until reduced to powder. Transfer everything to the bowl with the ground almonds.<\/p>\n<p>4. Soak the semolina in milk and mix well with a whisk or spatula to combine everything well without any lumps. In order to get a grainy texture which is desired it is recommended to mix it manually. By pulsing it with the other ingredients, the coarse grainy texture of the semolina is lost and the dum ka rote gets a pasty texture.<\/p>\n<p>5. Add the ghee to the blended almond khoya mixture in the bowl followed by the soaked semolina and combine everything well.<\/p>\n<p>6. Transfer this mixture to a heavy bottomed sauce pan or non stick pan and on steady medium low heat keep stirring till it starts bubbling and thickening slowly. Finally add saffron water( crushed saffron soaked in 1tbs of hot water) and mix well. Do not raise the flame or stop stirring at this stage as it could quickly get burnt at the bottom.\u00a0 Once it thickens enough it starts leaving the sides, therefore it is time to switch off the stove and stop cooking.<\/p>\n<p>7. Grease a baking dish with ghee and pour the thickened halwa into it. Garnish the halwa with slivered almonds and melon seeds on top. And as a finishing touch sprinkle some crushed saffron too. Place it in the centre of the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the layers at the top and at the base start browning and the sweet scented aroma of saffron is filling the air.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6262\" src=\"https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4565.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1125\" height=\"1755\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/dum-ka-rote-halwa-baked-semolina-pudding\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Dum Ka Rote Halwa\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4565.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4565.jpg 1125w, https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4565-192x300.jpg 192w, https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4565-656x1024.jpg 656w, https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4565-768x1198.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4565-985x1536.jpg 985w, https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4565-720x1123.jpg 720w, https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4565-360x562.jpg 360w, https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4565-180x281.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1125px) 100vw, 1125px\"\/><\/p>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6263\" src=\"https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4566-2.jpg\" alt=\"dum ka rote halwa\" width=\"1125\" height=\"1674\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/dum-ka-rote-halwa-baked-semolina-pudding\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Dum Ka Rote Halwa\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4566-2.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4566-2.jpg 1125w, https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4566-2-202x300.jpg 202w, https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4566-2-688x1024.jpg 688w, https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4566-2-768x1143.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4566-2-1032x1536.jpg 1032w, https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4566-2-720x1071.jpg 720w, https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4566-2-360x536.jpg 360w, https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4566-2-180x268.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1125px) 100vw, 1125px\"\/><\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6266\" src=\"https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/dum-ka-rote-halwa-1.jpg\" alt=\"dum ka rote halwa\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/dum-ka-rote-halwa-baked-semolina-pudding\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Dum Ka Rote Halwa\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/dum-ka-rote-halwa-1.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/dum-ka-rote-halwa-1.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/dum-ka-rote-halwa-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/dum-ka-rote-halwa-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/dum-ka-rote-halwa-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/dum-ka-rote-halwa-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/dum-ka-rote-halwa-1-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/dum-ka-rote-halwa-1-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/dum-ka-rote-halwa-1-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/dum-ka-rote-halwa-1-180x135.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\"\/><\/div>\n<p>8. As the halwa is baking in the oven, it slowly starts browning at the top and bottom and the sides become crusty and crunchy which is the best part of the halwa. Once this magic happens it is a signal that the halwa is done just right and should not be left in the oven any longer as too much darkening gives a bitter taste to it.<\/p>\n<p>9. Remove from the oven and let it cool down to room temperature.<\/p>\n<p>10. You can decorate the halwa with silver paper and serve it warm to your guests for dessert. You could warm it in the microwave too just before serving it. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. Please weigh all the ingredients correctly to get the delicious taste like Chennai\u2019s\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Basha halwa<br \/>2. Finely grind the almonds with sugar to avoid lumps and to get a dry almond powder<br \/>3. Pulse the khoya too with sugar to get a smooth texture.<br \/>4. By pulsing the semolina with the other ingredients, the coarse grainy texture of the semolina is lost and the dum ka rote gets a pasty texture which we do not want.<br \/>5. It tastes delicious when the top layer and sides turn brown and crusty.<br \/>6. Please check the melon seeds and pick out the discoloured ones before garnishing the halwa.<br \/>7. This halwa is to be served warm to enjoy well.<br \/>8. Refrigerate the left over halwa and warm it in the microwave before eating.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"feast-recipe-heading\">Recipe<\/h2>\n<div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-6925\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"6925\" data-servings=\"0\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-mamas-chic\">\n<div class=\"wprm-container-float-right\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-image wprm-block-image-rounded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/dum-ka-rote-halwa-baked-semolina-pudding\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width: 0px;border-style: solid;border-color: #666666;border-radius: 3px;\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4568-360x360.jpg\" class=\"attachment-250x250 size-250x250\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4568-360x360.jpg 360w, https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4568-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4568-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4568-720x720.jpg 720w, https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4568-180x180.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<style><![CDATA[#wprm-recipe-rating-0 .wprm-rating-star.wprm-rating-star-full svg * { fill: #343434;

wprm-block-text-bold\">Instructions:<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"wprm-recipe-instructions\">\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-6925-step-0-0\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<p>Pre heat oven to 350\u00baF. Soak semolina in 1 cup half and half or whole milk till it gets soaked well for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-6925-step-0-1\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<p>Grind the almonds with half the sugar in the food processor till reduced to a fine powder. Transfer to a bowl.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-6925-step-0-2\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<p>Cut the Unsweetened khoya (Nanak Khoya or Bapu ka Khoya) into small cubes. Pulse and blend them in the food processor with the remaining sugar until reduced to powder. Transfer everything to the bowl with the ground almonds.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-6925-step-0-3\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<p>Soak the semolina in milk and mix well with a whisk or spatula to combine everything well without any lumps. In order to get a grainy texture which is desired it is recommended to mix it manually. By pulsing it with the other ingredients, the coarse grainy texture of the semolina is lost and the dum ka rote gets a pasty texture.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-6925-step-0-4\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<p>Add the ghee to the blended almond khoya mixture in the bowl followed by the soaked semolina and combine everything well.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-6925-step-0-5\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<p>Transfer this mixture to a heavy bottomed sauce pan or non stick pan and on steady medium low heat keep stirring till it starts bubbling and thickening slowly. Finally add saffron water( crushed saffron soaked in 1tbs of hot water) and mix well. Do not raise the flame or stop stirring at this stage as it could quickly get burnt at the bottom.\u00a0 Once it thickens enough it starts leaving the sides, therefore it is time to switch off the stove and stop cooking.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-6925-step-0-6\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<p>Grease a baking dish with ghee and pour the thickened halwa into it. Garnish the halwa with slivered almonds and melon seeds on top. And as a finishing touch sprinkle some crushed saffron too. Place it in the centre of the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the layers at the top and at the base start browning and the sweet scented aroma of saffron is filling the air.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-6925-step-0-7\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<p>As the halwa is baking in the oven, it slowly starts browning at the top and bottom and the sides become crusty and crunchy which is the best part of the halwa. Once this magic happens it is a signal that the halwa is done just right and should not be left in the oven any longer as too much darkening gives a bitter taste to it.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-6925-step-0-8\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<p>Remove from the oven and let it cool down to room temperature.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-6925-step-0-9\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<p>You can decorate the halwa with silver paper and serve it warm to your guests for dessert. You could warm it in the microwave too just before serving it. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"recipe-6925-notes\" class=\"wprm-recipe-notes-container wprm-block-text-normal\">\n<h4 class=\"wprm-recipe-header wprm-recipe-notes-header wprm-block-text-uppercase-faded wprm-align-left wprm-header-decoration-line\" style=\"\">Notes<\/h4>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-notes\"><span style=\"display: block;\">Notes:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"display: block;\">1. Please weigh all the ingredients correctly to get the delicious taste, like the Chennai\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Basha&#8217;s halwa<br \/>2. Finely grind the almonds with sugar to avoid lumps and to get a dry almond powder<br \/>3. Pulse the Khoya too with sugar to get a smooth texture.<br \/>4. By pulsing the semolina with the other ingredients, the coarse grainy texture of the semolina is lost and the dum ka rote gets a pasty texture which we do not want.<br \/>5. It tastes delicious when the top layer and sides turn brown and crusty.<br \/>6. Please check the melon seeds and pick out the discoloured ones before garnishing the halwa.<br \/>7. This halwa is to be served warm to enjoy well.<br \/>8. Refrigerate the left over halwa and warm it in the microwave before eating.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wprm_print\/dum-ka-rote-halwa-3\/mamaschic\" style=\"color: #4a4a4a;background-color: #eecf9a;border-color: #000000;border-radius: 3px;padding: 10px 5px;\" class=\"wprm-recipe-print wprm-recipe-link wprm-print-recipe-shortcode wprm-block-text-normal wprm-recipe-print-wide-button wprm-recipe-link-wide-button wprm-color-accent\" data-recipe-id=\"6925\" data-template=\"mamaschic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-icon wprm-recipe-print-icon\"><default1:svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\" width=\"16px\" height=\"16px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\"><default1:g><default1:path fill=\"#000000\" d=\"M19,5.09V1c0-0.552-0.448-1-1-1H6C5.448,0,5,0.448,5,1v4.09C2.167,5.569,0,8.033,0,11v7c0,0.552,0.448,1,1,1h4v4c0,0.552,0.448,1,1,1h12c0.552,0,1-0.448,1-1v-4h4c0.552,0,1-0.448,1-1v-7C24,8.033,21.833,5.569,19,5.09z M7,2h10v3H7V2z M17,22H7v-9h10V22z M18,10c-0.552,0-1-0.448-1-1c0-0.552,0.448-1,1-1s1,0.448,1,1C19,9.552,18.552,10,18,10z\"\/><\/default1:g><\/default1:svg><\/span> Print Recipe<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/bookmarklet\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmamasecretrecipes.ca%2Fdum-ka-rote-halwa-baked-semolina-pudding%2F&amp;media=https%3A%2F%2Fmamasecretrecipes.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F03%2FIMG_4568.jpg&amp;description=This+is+a+very+popular+halwa+in+Chennai%2C+India+well+known+for+its+name+%22Dum+Ka+Rote%22.+It+is+basically+a+baked+semolina+pudding+made+with+ground+almonds%2C+semolina%2C+ghee%2C+khoya+%28reduced+milk+solids%29and+saffron.&amp;is_video=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-recipe=\"6925\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/dum-ka-rote-halwa-baked-semolina-pudding\/\" data-media=\"https:\/\/mamasecretrecipes.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4568.jpg\" data-description=\"This is a very popular halwa in Chennai, India well known for its name &quot;Dum Ka Rote&quot;.
