Sheera


As we all get ready to welcome Goddess Laxmi in our homes tomorrow with sweets, fruits, flowers, coconut etc, in our family we also make wheat, flour Sheera (kanah prasad) a delicious Sheera that we have been used to since childhood, served in all Gurudwaras and temples. Here's how you can make it at home.

Ingredients
1 cup wheat flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 pure ghee
A little over 2 cups of water

Procedure
Heat ghee in a thick-bottomed kadai. Reduce flame and add flour and stir. Separately in a pan boil water with sugar to make sugar syrup and turn off flame once sugar is fully dissolved and water is boiling. Keep stirring the flour on a low flame till it turns golden brown. Slowly add the sugar syrup stirring continuously on a slightly higher flame, so that there are no lumps. Keep stirring, reduce flame, cover kadai with lid and cook for five minute on low flame stirring occasionally. Delicious hot kanah prasad is ready. Empty in an attractive serving dish with lid and place at the Pooja. Distribute to family and friends after Pooja is over.
