Semolina Pudding Recipe(Indian) |
Ingredients: |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil 10 cashew nuts 2 tablespoons raisins 80 g unsalted butter 250 g semolina 200 g castor sugar 1/4 teaspoon green cardamom powder pinch of saffron threads, infused in 2 tablespoons warm milk 2 tablespoons grated fresh coconut (white part only), toasted To serve: 80 g shrikhand or Saffron and Cardamom Yogurt (refer to desserts recipes) – sweetened thick yogurt 1 plum, cut into thin slices |
Method: Heat the oil in a sauté pan, wok or kadhai and fry the cashew nuts and raisins for 2-3 minutes until the nuts are colored and the raisins plump up. Remove and drain on paper towels; set aside. Drain off the oil. Heat the butter in the pan and fry the semolina for about 10-15 minutes until golden brown in color, with a nutty aroma. Slowly add 300 ml hot water, stirring constantly to avoid lumps forming. Add the sugar, cardamom powder and infused saffron. Cook gently over a low heat for 5-7 minutes to blend the flavors. Stir in the coconut, cashew nuts and raisins, then remove from the heat. Spread the mixture evenly in a greased shallow tin to a 2-3cm depth and allow to cool, then chill for 1 hour or until set. Cut into triangles or diamond-shaped pieces. Serve cold, topped with a spoonful of saffron and Cardamom Yogurt and plum slices. |
