Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
1 ¼ cup Water
1-2 tbsp Sarthak Satvik Desi Ghee
½ cup Sooji
½ cup White granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon Green Cardamom seeds, powdered
2 tablespoons Almonds, Cashews, Raisins, chopped(optional)
Preparation method:
-
Add the ghee and fine semolina in a pan.
-
Turn the heat on low-medium and roast the sooji by stirring constantly until it gets a slight brown color with the toasty aroma of sooji; it typically takes about 7-8 minutes.
-
On the other side, take water in a saucepan, and heat it till it comes to a simmer.
-
Add the warm water slowly to the roasted suji. As water is added to the sooji, it begins to absorb, gets very bubbly and splutters, so mix it immediately.
-
Stir continuously until water is absorbed. This will be done very quickly (about 2 minutes).
-
Add sugar and mix well.
-
Keep mixing until it gets thick and starts to leave the sides of the pan. The ghee will start to ooze out.
-
Turn off the stove and add cardamom powder, chopped cashews and almonds, and raisins, mix well.
Note:
-
Milk or a mixture of water and milk can be added instead of just water.
-
You can replace the enlisted dry fruits with your preferable choice of the same. The other popular additions include pumpkin seeds.
