Gulab Ka Sheera

Gulab ka sheera is the usual semolina pudding / sooji ka halwa / rava kesari with rose flavouring. It is very quick to make and one of the easiest sweets among all the Indian sweets.

 Ingredients:-
  • 5 cups water
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1 cup semolina
  • ¾ cup ghee
  • ½ tsp cardamom pdr
  • ½ tsp rose essence
  • few drops of rose colour 
  • mixed nuts (finely chopped)
Method :-
  • Heat water and sugar in a bowl till sugar dissolves and it comes to a boil.
  • Immediately switch off the flame.
  • Heat ghee in a pan and add semolina and cardamom pdr.
  • Fry for 2 minutes stirring continuously on slow flame.
  • Carefully add the sugar syrup.
  • Mix well and add colour.
  • Cook for 4 minutes stirring continuously.
  • Remove from flame and keep aside covered for 15 minutes.
  • Garnish with chopped nuts.
Notes:-
  • The mixture will be quite runny when you switch off the flame. Don't worry it will reach the correct consistency when kept aside.
  • You may substitute the flavourings as per your liking, eg. pineapple essence and yellow colour etc.
  • Do not cook the sugar syrup more than a boil.

    This is one recipe I must try. I love Indian sweets but you know because I seldom make and I don't have friends who also don't make such sweet, I can get lost in finding a recipe.

    I am admiring the outcome and I can imagine the rose fragrant inside. Receives 100% marks.

    Gulab ka sheera is brand new to me, the first thing that caught my eyes was the color - one word, beautiful and ethereal. I'm sure it tasted divine. I'm trying this for sure.
    You are innovating quite a lot, very interesting, Nilu.
