Sheera (sweet semolina)

Now this ones my mothers classic.She follows her trick and she has never gone wrong in case of Sheera.
So there you go a classsic dessert from my mother's secret recipe collection

INGREDIENTS
250gms Rawa (roasted)
250gms Ghee
250gms sugar
250ml full cream milk
250ml water
100 gms dry fruit (raisins, almond, kaju and pistachio)
1 tspn cardamom powder

METHOD
Step1-in a pan mix and bring to boil the milk, sugar and water
Step2-nw take a heavy bottom pan and heat the ghee when the ghee is warm add the cardamom powder followed by the Rawa and dry fruits
Step3-Sauté on medium heat till you can smell the fragnace of semolina. (My mom says wen raisins in the dry fruits swells up its the indication that yor semolina is well sauted)
Step4-at this stage laddel the milk and sugar mix little by little stirring the semolina continuesly or else it will form lumps.
Step5-when you have transferred the milk mix into the semolina, reduse the heat to low and cover the vessel and let it simmer for 15 mins till all the liquid is absorbed by the semolina.

Transfer it to a serving bowl and serve hot 

Well you must be wondering what's the trick, the trick is that you take equal proportions of all the ingredients and trust me you can never go wrong.
