MyMusingsSangSpeak-Pet Puja - Faarsi Pudding

Faarsi Pudding
Faarsi Pudding is a delicately flavoured delicious Persian dessert. I learnt this pudding from my mother, who had learnt it in a cookery class. I like this sweet dish because of its luscious taste. It is an easy recipe to make and resembles the rice phirni, only in place of rice, suji (semolina) is used. 
Ingredients
Suji - 2 tablespoons
Ghee - 1 teaspoon
Milk - 1 litre
Sugar - 1½ cup
Khoya - 100 gms
Cashewnuts - 75 gms
Raisins - 75 gms
Cardamom Powder - 1 teaspoon
Rose Water - 1 teaspoon
Rose Petals - 10-12(dried or fresh) 
Method
Heat ghee and suji in a pan just for a minute and add milk. Bring to a boil by constantly stirring, let the suji cook for about 7-10 minutes. Powder the cashewnuts finely in a grinder. Add sugar and powdered cashewnuts to the suji milk mixture and stir continuously for further 10 minutes. Add crumbled Khoya and cook for about 5 minutes more. Remove from heat, add cardamom powder and rose water. Allow to cool. Add raisins and chill in the refrigerator. Garnish with rose petals and serve chilled.

Note - Preparation time is approximately 30-35 minutes. This quantity should suffice 5-6 persons.
