Pet Puja - Sheera

Sheera

Sheera is loved by almost one and all. It is a must sweet dish in Maharashtrian household and is essentially cooked as Prasaad for Satyanarayan Mahapuja. My mother dished out the best Sheera ever. Everytime I cook sheera, I am reminded of my mother.

Every household will have its own way of making this savoury dish. Some use water, some may add ripe banana to the suji while roasting and some may use milk. Following is my method of making it. Hope you all enjoy it too.

Ingredients:

Suji/Rawa/Semolina: 1 katori or cup

Ghee: 1/4^th katori

Sugar: 1 katori

Milk: 3 katori

Kaju tukda : 2 teaspoon (optional)

Kishmish: 2 teaspoon (optional)

Cardamom powder: ½ teaspoon

Method:

Heat ghee in a pan and roast suji in the ghee on medium heat till it turns a golden brown. Then add kaju-kishmish and roast for another minute. Now add warm milk to this and stir for 2 minutes. Please be careful while adding milk as the mixture tends to bubble, spill n splutter, so do this with utmost care. Then add sugar, stir well and cover and let it cook for 3 minutes. Remove cover, stir well and add cardamom powder. Turn off the heat and sheera is ready to serve.
