Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free semolina
- 0.25 cup Ghee
- 0.75 cup Sugar
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.125 teaspoon Saffron strands
- 0.25 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 2 tablespoons Cashews
- 2 tablespoons Raisins
- 2 tablespoons Sliced almonds
Directions
Step 1
Start by heating 1/4 cup of ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the cashews and almonds, and fry them until lightly golden. Remove them from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Step 3
In the same pan, add gluten-free semolina and roast it on medium-low heat until it turns fragrant and light golden. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, heat 2 cups of water along with 1 cup of milk until it comes to a gentle simmer. Add the saffron strands to this mixture to infuse their color and aroma.
Step 5
Once the semolina is roasted, slowly pour the hot milk-water-saffron mixture into the pan, stirring continuously to avoid any lumps.
Step 6
Increase the heat to medium-high and continue stirring for about 5 minutes as the semolina absorbs the liquid and thickens.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low, add 3/4 cup of sugar, and continue stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Step 8
Add the cardamom powder and mix well.
Step 9
Finally, add the fried cashews, almonds, and raisins. Stir them into the sheera until well combined.
Step 10
Serve the Gluten-Free Sheera warm, garnished with extra nuts if desired.
