👩‍🍳 How to make Rava Kheer

  1. Fry nuts (3 mins, medium heat): Heat ghee, fry cashews until golden, remove. Fry raisins until plump, set aside.
  2. Roast semolina (4 mins, medium heat): Add semolina to remaining ghee, roast while stirring until light golden and aromatic (visual cue: color changes, smells toasted).
  3. Add milk (1 min, high heat): Slowly pour milk while stirring to prevent lumps (visual cue: mixture thickens immediately).
  4. Simmer (12 mins, low heat): Reduce heat, stir occasionally for 10-12 mins until thickened to pouring consistency (visual cue: milk becomes creamy, semolina visible but soft).
  5. Add sugar & cardamom (1 min): Mix in sugar and cardamom powder, stir well.
  6. Garnish (1 min): Top with fried nuts, raisins, and saffron strands.
