Sheera is often used in Satyanarain puja, but is fine when eaten just
as a dessert. The amounts below serve about five people.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cups of rawa (soji)
- 2 tbsp of ghee
- 4 tbsp of sugar (more or less to taste)
- 1/4 cups of milk
- 1 chopped banana
- 1 tbsp raisins, soaked in water for an hour
- 1/8 tsp cardamom powder
Method
- Roast rawa in the ghee till its aroma is released.
- Bring the milk to a boil, then reduce the heat and add the roasted rawa
along with sugar and the bananas. Blend well, add the raisins and
cardamom and cook until thick.
