SEMOLINA PUDDING (Sheera)

Ingredients:

1 cup of semolina

1 cup of sugar (can add more depending on your tastebuds)

Few cashews and raisins

2 ¹/₂ cup of water

¹/₂ cup butter

Pinch of cardamom powder

Saffron/ food coloring (optional)

 

Method:

Melt butter in a heavy bottomed pan. Add cashews and raisins roast until the raisins swell and cashews change their color a bit. Now add semolina and roast on low flame until lightly colored. When you get a nice aroma from semolina, add sugar and mix it well. Now add  water and increase heat to medium. When most of the water is absorbed, add a pinch of cardamom powder and saffron (if using). Stir in gently and cover with a lid. Cover and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
