I make this quite often - it is in fact my husband's favorite dessert when he suddenly craves sweets:). But he, being a maharashtrian calls it rava. He calls the sheera with bananas as sheera :)
Edited to add : Also, I make a sort of sugar syrup - it gives me the texture we like
It looks rich and delicious!
hey sorry to ask, when and where to add the wheat flour?
sorry Sharmi
add the wheat flour at the same time as the semolina
My bad!
Now you have triggered my taste buds and they want this for breakfast.
Should I use 2% milk or whole milk? Thank you:)
2% is fine
