Sheera

🇮🇳 Indian

A ghee-rich halwa cooked low and slow until the fat separates and the spoon stands happily in it. About 50 minutes from fridge to table.

Prep 20 min Cook 30 min Serves 6 Medium

    Roast the semolina (rava) in ghee on a patient medium flame until it smells toasty and turns a shade deeper.

    Pour in the hot liquid (milk or water) carefully — it will splutter — and stir through.

    Finish with cardamom, almonds and raisins; serve warm.

Chef's tip

Mithai rewards low heat and clean pans; rush nothing.
