Ingredients
- 1 cup Semolina (Rava)
- 1 tablespoon Ghee (Clarified Butter)
- 1 large Ripe Banana
- 0.5 cup Sugar
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 cup Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Cardamom Powder
- 2 tablespoons Sliced Almonds
- 2 tablespoons Raisins
- 5 strands Saffron Strands (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel and mash the ripe banana into a smooth paste using a fork or masher. Set it aside.
Step 2
Heat a heavy-bottomed pan or skillet over medium heat and add the ghee.
Step 3
Once the ghee melts and is slightly warm, add the semolina and stir continuously. Roast the semolina for 5-7 minutes or until it turns aromatic and light golden in color. Take care not to burn it.
Step 4
In a separate saucepan, combine the milk, water, and saffron strands (if using). Heat the mixture until it is warm but not boiling.
Step 5
Reduce the heat of the semolina pan to low and slowly pour in the warm milk mixture, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Be careful as the mixture may splatter slightly.
Step 6
Add the mashed banana and mix well to combine with the semolina mixture.
Step 7
Stir in the sugar and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the pudding thickens to your desired consistency. This should take around 5-7 minutes.
Step 8
Add cardamom powder, half of the sliced almonds, and raisins to the pudding. Stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Step 9
Turn off the heat and let the pudding rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 10
Garnish with the remaining sliced almonds and serve warm. Enjoy your Banana and Semolina Pudding Sheera as a delightful dessert or snack!
