Sheero | suji halwa is a simple Indian sweet that's made with semolina which is toasted in ghee then cooked in milk and water. Its sweetened with sugar, flavoured with cardamon and finished with slivers of pistachios and almonds.

Ingredients

1/2 cup

melted ghee

1 cup

coarse semolina, (or fine semolina)

1 pinch

saffron, (optional))

1 1/2 cups

milk, divided

1 1/2 cups

water

1/4 tsp

ground cardamom

1 cup

sugar

handful

slivered almonds

handful

slivered pistachios

Method

1. Heat ghee in a pan over a medium low heat. Add the semolina and roast for 6-8 minutes or until the semolina starts to change colour, stir continuously to make sure it doesn't burn.
2. Take 4 tablespoons of the milk and mix it with the saffron, then heat for 10-20 seconds or until just warm.
3. Add the saffron infused milk along with the rest of the milk and the water to the toasted semolina. Stir continuously for 3-4 minutes or until all the liquid has been absorbed and the mixture starts to leave the sides of the pan.
4. Stir in the cardamom and sugar; the mixture will start to loosen up and become runny. Continue to stir for 2-3 minutes or until the mixture thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan.
5. Remove from the heat and garnish with almond and pistachio silvers. Serve warm or at room temperature.
