Suji, or semolina, is a coarse flour made from durum wheat, used in both savory and sweet dishes. In Nepal and India, it is a staple for preparing meals like upma (savory porridge) and halwa (a popular sweet). Suji is also used in baking for cakes, bread, and pasta.
Suji is easily digestible, making it suitable for children and people recovering from illness. However, it contains gluten, which may not be ideal for those with gluten intolerance.
In Nepal, suji ko halwa is often made for festivals or special occasions, and suji is widely available in local stores and online platforms like Sewapoint.
This versatile ingredient remains a popular choice for both everyday meals and festive dishes.
