Share:
Ingredients
- 1 cup fine sooji rava/semolina
- ½ cup ghee see notes
- 1 ripe banana sliced
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup water
- 1 pinch saffron
- ⅔ cup sugar
- ¾ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ¼ cup chopped nuts almonds, pistachios, and cashews
- ¼ cup raisins optional
Instructions
- Add ghee and sooji to a pan and roast on medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes stirring continuously as sooji slowly turns to light golden brown color and aromatic.
- Turn the heat to low and add banana, smashing it with the back of the spatula as you mix in.
- Mix milk and water and heat in the microwave until it is hot but not boiling, about 3 minutes. Slowly and carefully add it to the pan stirring continuously. Be very careful while adding liquids may cause a lot of steam and the Sheera may start to splatter
- Once the liquids are fully mixed in, add saffron. Cover and cook on low heat for five minutes as the sooji will absorb all of the liquids.
- Add sugar, cardamom, and half of the nuts. Mix well and cook covered on low heat for 5 minutes. Sheera will continue to thicken as it cools down. Garnish with remaining nuts and raisins.

Notes
- Special Notes from Mom to make Sheera for Puja
- Additional Notes
- To make Prasad Sheera use sooji, ghee, and sugar in equal amounts.
- See the step-by-step photos in the main post to see the color of the final roasted sooji should look like. It is very important to roast sooji with ghee on low-medium heat until its evenly browned and aromatic
- You can use dairy-free unsweetened milk such as oat milk, almond milk, or soy milk. It can also be made with all milk or all water, milk makes the Sheera creamier.
- Allergic to nuts? Skip them for a delicious nut-free dessert
- Banana is optional but if you have a ripe one I highly recommend adding it
