Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • Fine semolina/suji/rawa: ½ cup
  • Milk: 2 cups
  • Sugar: ¼ cup
  • Ghee or clarified butter: 1 tbsp
  • Bay leaf: 1
  • Cardamom powder: 1 tsp
  • Raisins, cashew nuts or almonds: ¼ cup
Method
  1. Heat ghee or clarified butter in a heavy pan and add the bay leaf.
  2. Once the ghee becomes aromatic, add the fine semolina, suji or rawa to it and lightly saute it on low to medium heat for around 1 minute. Don't let it turn brown.
  3. Add the milk and sugar and mix it well with the suji. It will become thick and soak up all the milk pretty soon so keep stirring it on medium heat.
  4. Now add the cardamom powder, raisins and nuts. Once you have the desired thickness, which should take around 5-7 minutes, remove from heat. Serve warm or at room temperature by itself or with puri/luchi.
