Keto Sooji Halwa is a delightful low-carb twist on the traditional Indian dessert, using almond flour instead of semolina to keep it keto-friendly. This rich and aromatic sweet dish is perfect for satisfying your cravings without compromising your diet.

Ingredients

• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Ghee - 30 grams
• Erythritol - 30 grams
• Water - 200 ml
