Sheera

Traditional 9. Sheera recipe

🧺 Ingredients

• 1 cup coarse rava (semolina)
• ¾ cup sugar
• 3 cups warm milk
• 4 tbsp ghee
• ½ tsp cardamom powder
• 2 tbsp cashews
• 2 tbsp raisins
• Pinch of saffron soaked in 2 tbsp warm milk

👩‍🍳 How to make Sheera

1. Toast rava (5 mins, low heat): Melt 2 tbsp ghee, add rava. Stir continuously until golden brown with nutty, toasty aroma — rava grains should be separate and slightly puffed.
2. Fry dry fruits (2 mins, low heat): In separate small pan, heat remaining ghee, fry cashews until golden. Add raisins until puffed. Reserve.
3. Add milk (8 mins, medium-low heat): Pour warm milk into rava — it will hiss and steam. Stir immediately and vigorously. Cook until rava absorbs milk and mixture thickens.
4. Sweeten (3 mins, low heat): Add sugar, saffron milk, cardamom. Stir until sugar dissolves and sheera has a thick, glossy, porridge-like consistency.
5. Garnish: Top with fried cashews and raisins. Serve warm.
