Recipe type: Dessert
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
Heat ghee or clarified butter in a heavy pan and add the bay leaf.
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.
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.
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.
