SHIRA /SUJI KA HALWA

Ingredients:

• 50gms suji
• 50-60gms ghee(clarified butter)
• 40-50gms sugar
•  Milk
• Saffron
• 4-5 cashew nuts 

Preparation:-

•         Heat the ghee in a wok. When it is warm add suji, stirring continuously.
•         Cut the cashews in small pieces. When the suji turns golden brown, add them to the wok.
