Sheera Maharashtrian dessert

Sheera is popular maharashtrian snack, u can call it dessert or it can be eaten for breakfast.

Lots of ghee makes sheera making process easier but here is a version without use of liberal ghee.

Sheera


Sheera


Ingredients :
1 cup - Coarse Semolina (Rava)
1 cup - Sugar
1/4 cup + 1 tbsp - Clarified butter (Ghee)
Dried Fruits - As per your liking
4 cups - Milk
Flavouring agents ( cardamom, saffron or nutmeg ) - As per taste

1 Heat 1/4 cup of ghee in a pan once it is hot add semolina. Add dry fruits, fry them and set them aside.
2 Roast semolina on medium heat for 10 - 12 min.
3 In the meanwhile boil the milk, add sugar to it and keep it ready.
4 Once the semolina gives nice roasted fragrance ie after 10 min add the milk and sugar mixture to it.
5 Stir continuosly till a u can see the partially cooked semolina with little bit of milk floating on top ( takes 3 - 5min on high heat).
6 Now cover the pan and let the Sheera cook in the steam for 3 - 5 min on medium heat.
7 Open the cover the milk should allbe absorbed if not cover and cook again.
8 Repeat the process till all the milk is absorbed.Add 1 tbsp of ghee and stir well .
9 Add dry fruits and flavouring agents.
10 Let the sheera settle and cool for 5 min , it will be set nicely.


Note :
The sheera may appear sticky if all the liquid is not absorbed ,it is important to let it cook in the steam till all the milk is absorbed.

Equally important is to let the sheera cool down before serving.

You can substitute 4 cups milk with water or combination of milk and water but the taste will differ.

Traditionally 1 cup clarified butter is used nothing can beat the taste of this sheera but for weight watchers the milk and ghee proportion works great.
