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!
