Today is a very special day! It is my mom's birthday!! A very happy moment and I am nostalgic. Every new appliance that we would purchase would coincidentally be on this day and it become super memorable. Happy Birthday MA!
Today is also Ram Navmi, the birth date of Lord Rama according to Hindu Calendar. People visit temples and prepare sweets at home to offer God. Today being a Friday and my regular prayer day, I made one of the quick sweets for offering God. My mom used to make this too on busy days. I made a special sweet/ sheera as we call it using whole wheat flour. With very few ingredients that are available easily in the pantry, this prasad is ready in less than 15 minutes.
Ingredients (serves 2-3 people)
4 tbsp. whole wheat flour
3/4 cup regular water
6 tbsp. sugar
Pinch of cardamom powder
Chopped nuts to garnish
- In a pan heat ghee.
- Add flour and mix well Roast till it turns brown in color and gives roasted flavor.
- Pour water gently while constantly stirring to avoid lumps.
- When water is absorbed and wheat flour forms a lump, add sugar, few nuts, and pinch of cardamom powder.
- Mix well till sugar dissolves and the mixture leaves the sides of the pan. This will take 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in a plate. garnish with chopped nuts.
- Cool and cut into pieces!
