Whole Wheat Flour Sheera

This tasty and healthy sheera recipe is made from whole wheat flour, ghee and jaggery. You may use sugar, but I like to add jaggery instead to make this sheera more nutritious. A very important task while making this sheera is roasting the wheat flour. If you don't roast it properly the mixture becomes sticky. Sheera makes for a perfect dessert pudding on a cold winter day or holidays parties. The key is to use homemade ghee to get maximum flavor, texture and a smooth consistency. Enjoy the recipe!

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

1/2 cup whole wheat flour
4 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
8 to 10 almonds, sliced (boil and remove the skin)
1/2 teaspoon green cardamom powder
1/2 cup jaggery, grated
1 cup hot water

Directions:

1. Heat ghee in a kadai/ pan. Add flour and saute on low heat until it turns golden brown. 
2. Add 1 cup of hot water and cook, stirring continuously. Cook until the mixture thickens. 
3. Add grated jaggery and mix well. You should see ghee around the sheera. Add cardamom powder and mix.
4. Garnish with sliced almonds. Sheera is ready and should be served hot!
