    | 1. In a small saucepan, bring water, sugar, and raisins (optional) to a boil, set aside. | 2. In a small to medium saucepan, heat ghee. | 3. Add semolina, cardamom. | 4. Sauté until light brown, stirring constantly. | 5. Add water/sugar/raisin mixture. | 6. Heat and stir until halwa reaches the consistency of thick mashed potatoes. | 7. Remove from heat, add almonds. | 8. note: I like to cook the halwa with the raisins but discard them (I don't particularly care for raisins). | 9. I also sauté the almonds in a bit of ghee, but that isn't necessary. | 10. To make ghee: Heat 2 sticks of butter in a saucepan on med-high until boiling. | 11. Turn down heat to med-low and cook for several more minutes, stirring occasionally. | 12. Ghee will take on a weird plastic-like appearance at the top and smell like caramel. | 13. Strain the ghee through cheesecloth and a fine strainer. | 14. Save what isn't used in an airtight container (it does not need to be refrigerated). | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
