Halwa Poori

Halwa poori is a traditional Pakistani and Indian breakfast consisting of semolina pudding or halwa and a soft fried dough known as poori. Halwa is typically made from fried semolina and sugar syrup, which is then combined with nuts like pistachios and almonds.

The sweet dish is flavored with aromatics such as green cardamom pods, kewra essence, and cloves, and it is usually brightened with yellow or orange food coloring. Poori is a soft and fluffy fried bread made from a dough of flour, water, salt, and oil.

It is typically shaped into a thin, flat disk and deep-fried until it puffs up. Traditional accompaniments for fresh and hot poori are sweet semolina halwa or sooji halwa. Aaloo ki bhaji, a flavor-packed potato dish, and cholay, a Pakistani dish based on chickpeas combined with spices, are two other common accompaniments to halwa poori.
