Ingredients:
1 cup sooji (cream of wheat)
2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
1 cup sugar
2 1/4 cups boiling water
1 tsp cardamom powder
Few cashewnuts (broken pieces) and raisins
Process: Fry raisins and cashews for a few seconds in ghee. Add sooji to the pan and stir continuously till a nice aroma appears (for about 4 minutes). Stir in the sugar. Add boiling water on low flame. Add cardamom powder. Keep stirring for another minute. Sheera is ready. You could add a pinch of saffron powder with the cardamom powder if you happen to have it around the house to make it even better.
You can also play with flavors. For example adding rosewater instead of cardamom powder makes an entirely new dish. Real yummy. Enjoy!
