ABOUT KANKA JI SOOJI JO SEERO ( Wheat Semolina Sheera ) RECIPE

Sheera is usually prepared on festive occasions as an offering ( Prashad / Bhog ) to God. It can be prepared with various ingredients like flour, semolina, besan etc etc.. Today's recipe is made with thick wheat semolina.or sooji. The consistency of this semolina is thicker and it takes a little longer to cook. I have used jaggery to sweeten as I like it better, but you can also use sugar. It tastes better when made with desi ghee. If you feel it might be heavy you can use half ghee and half oil
