Yield: 1 serving (100 g)
Prep: 5 min

Course: Dessert

Ingredients

20 g suji (fine semolina)
8 g Power Sprinkle
25 g powdered sugar
15 g ghee
40 ml whole milk
2 green cardamom pods, crushed
1 pinch saffron (optional)
5 g cashew or raisin garnish (optional)

Method

Warm the milk with the saffron until just hot. Do not let it boil. Set aside.
Heat the ghee in a small heavy pan on a low-to-medium flame. Add the suji and roast, stirring constantly, for about 4–5 minutes, until pale golden and nutty.
Lower the flame. Pour in the warm milk slowly while stirring, and stand back as it will splutter. Stir for about 2 minutes until the milk is absorbed and the mixture thickens.
Add the sugar and cardamom and stir briskly. The sheera loosens as the sugar melts, then thickens again over 1–2 minutes.
Switch off the flame. Fold in the Power Sprinkle and stir until evenly mixed.
Garnish and serve warm.
