Ingredients

• 1 cup wheat flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup clarified butter (ghee)
• 1.5 cup water
• 1 tsp cardamom powder
• 2 tsp dry fruits cutting

Method of preparation

• Heat a Kadhai or thick bottomed pan and add clarified butter/ghee to it.

• In another pot, bring 1.5 cups of water to a rolling boil.
• Once the water is boiled, add it to the wheat mixture and stir it continuously to avoid any lump formation.
• Switch on the burner on low flame again once you add water to the mixture.
• Now add sugar and continue to stir till the sugar dissolves completely and gets absorbed by the wheat flour.
• Add cardamom powder and dry fruits of your choice.
• Switch off the flame when the Sheera starts leaving the side of the pan and ghee becomes visible at the sides.
• Garnish it with the dry fruits of your choice.
