About Sheera

Sheera, also known as semolina pudding, is a popular Indian dessert made from roasted semolina, ghee (clarified butter), sugar, and water or milk, often garnished with nuts like cashews or almonds and flavored with cardamom. This dish is commonly prepared during festivals and religious occasions for its comforting taste and ease of preparation. Sheera provides quick energy due to its carbohydrate content from semolina and sugar. The inclusion of ghee offers healthy fats, while nuts add a dose of protein and essential nutrients like magnesium and vitamin E. However, Sheera can be high in calories and saturated fats, making portion control crucial for those watching their weight or managing blood sugar levels. Opting for reduced sugar and substituting water for milk can make it a lighter option while maintaining its rich, traditional flavor.
