Semolina Kesari

Ingredients

1 cup of Semolina

4 tbsp of ghee

10 cashews

2 tbsp of raisins

2 cup of water

1 ½ cups of sugar

4 tbsp of saffron water

½ tbsp of cardamom powder

 

How to Make: -

Heat a pan well and put the ghee into the heated pan. Put the cashew and raising in to the pan and roast them for a while. The time when the cashew gets golden brown keep the cashew aside. Now put the semolina into the same ghee pan and roast on a low temperature for five minutes and keep it aside too. Take a deep pan and boil the 2 cups of water. Once the water boil well decreases the temperature to a low point and add the semolina into the pan. Stir well till the semolina absorbs water well. Then pour the sugar into the pan. Stir well till the sugar dissolves while keeping a low temperature. Then add the saffron water to make it colourful. Stir continuously till the mixture shows zero lumps. Then cover the pan and let it cook for few minutes. Add the roasted cashew and other ingredients to make it tastier. Finally separate the delicious dessert from the pan and it is now ready to save. If you need some extra taste add some extra ghee.
