Fridays in my home is usually a day to do Lakshmi Pooja. If I have the time, I usually make a sweet to offer as a prasad. This time, I steered from the usual and added bananas to the otherwise plain Sooji Sheera. The addition of the bananas gave a whole new taste, almost banana bread like...Here's the recipe and also my contribution to Maheshwari's AFAM event.
Ingredients:
1 cup Semolina, 2 cups Milk,
Sugar to your taste, usually half a cup, 1 large ripe banana- chopped,toasted almonds, pistachios, Cardamom powder, Sultana Raisins and Ghee.
In a pan, heat ghee ( to your liking), add cardamom powder and the semolina. Roast till the semolina is a little brown. Add the milk and stir. Add the bananas, raisins, sugar and the toasted almonds and pistachios. Remove from heat and serve.
Try this sheera with bananas next time....it really brings a new twist to the usual and tastes great.
Nice picture! Trupti,Sheera with Banana tastes great! I keep making this often back home.Happy cooking!
ReplyDeleteGreat entry for AFAM! Trupti , your blog looks great with the new template layout!
ReplyDeleteHey, nice recipe Trupti....I never thought banana could be added with sooji to make a sweet dish. Its a good one :) I also read about the "Little Chef in the Kitchen Event" and trust me, I really liked it. I will definitely put my hubby to work since we don't have kids.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing, I have tagged you for 3 things MEME. Take it up if you like.
Thanks, Nidhi.
The sooji looks divine
ReplyDeleteAnd nice idea to add bananas to sooji, will do that next
Looks amazing! It is very common to add ripe bananas to sheera at my place. In fact, I can't think of when I made sheera last without bananas! The taste that ripe bananas impart to this dish sure gets you hooked! We also make this as an offering to God :)
ReplyDeleteTrupti,
ReplyDeleteAddition of banana to the usual sheera is a nice twist buddy.
