ABOUT Zafrani Mango Sheera RECIPE

Luscious and rich sheera or semolina pudding with mangoes; infused with the exotic flavors and colors of heavenly saffron, it is a royal way to end to any meal!

Ingredients Serving: 6

1 cup suji or semolina or cream of wheat
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of ghee or clarified butter
½ cup mango puree (fresh or canned)
¾ cup sugar
2 cups water
Few saffron strands, soaked in 2 tablespoons of milk
2 tablespoons raisins
Almond slivers for garnishing

Instructions

Grease a flat pan with ghee and set aside. In a deep pan, heat the 1/2 cup of ghee. Add the raisins and fry till they plump up. Add the semolina and fry on low flame till it is aromatic and turns light brown.
Meanwhile, keep the water for boiling. When the semolina is roasted, add the water and cook on low heat till it is well cooked. The water will be fully absorbed by the semolina. Add the mango puree and mix well.
Pour in the sugar and mix continuously till the sugar melts and the whole mixture is lump free. Keep stirring well to avoid lumps. To this, add the saffron soaked milk and mix again
Add about 2 tablespoons ghee and mix again. Keep stirring till the halwa or sheera is fully cooked and starts to leave the sides of the pan.
Immediately, pour this mixture into the greased pan and level the top of the sheera with the bottom of a bowl, greased with ghee. Garnish with the almonds and slightly press into the sheera. Cut into desired shapes and serve warm or cold.
