Rajgira is a good source of calcium and protein. Get your child to fall in love with this delightful bowl of goodness.
INGREDIENTS
½ cup rajgira (amaranth) flour
⅓ cup ghee
1 cup water
⅓ cup gud (jaggery) powder
1 pinch cinnamon powder
1 tablespoon each, chopped almonds and pistachios to garnish
METHOD
In a non-stick pan, add the ghee and warm it.
Add the rajgira flour and cook it on a low-medium heat till it turns golden in colour. Stir it continuously so it doesn’t burn.
Keep adding a little water at a time while stirring so it doesn’t get lumpy.
Once the entire water is incorporated, add the gud and cinnamon powder and cook over a low heat.
The gud should melt and mix into the sheera.
By this point, the sheera should start leaving the sides of the pan and the ghee would have floated to the top.
Transfer the sheera to a bowl and cool it slightly. Garnish with the chopped almonds and pistachios.
