Strawberry Sheera

I got a handful of fresh strawberries while my recent trip to Panchgani. These fresh red and juicy strawberries are heaven to have just like that. Alas, like most mothers would agree, it’s the most difficult task to feed your child the most nutritious and fresh thing especially when you have a toddler throwing tantrums every now and then. So comes the strawberry sheera with fresh strawberries and Mapro crush for my little one to make him have his share all his way.

Prep Time: 3 min
Cook Time: 20mins
Serves: 4 People

Ingredients:

Sooji/ rava- 1 cup
Sugar 1/2 cup (adjust as per your taste for sweetness)
Strawberries 6-7
Strawberry crush: 2 tablespoon
Milk 1/2 cup
Water 2 cups
Ghee 1 tablespoon(3/4th cup)
Dry fruits of your choice (I have taken powdered mix dry fruits 2 tablespoon)
Cardomom powder 1 pinch (optional)
Khoya/mawa 1/2 cup

Recipe:

Heat ghee in pan
Add 1 cup sooji and roast
Roast sooji for 10-15 minutes till you see colour getting golden and releases nutty aroma. Keep on moving with laddle, to avoid burning.
Meanwhile, cut strawberries in fine pieces
Mix milk and water (total 2 1/2 cup) and heat it in other vessel
Add hot milk and water mixture and khoya to sooji and mix well. Break lumps of khoya if there.
Cover with lid and let sooji cook for 3-4 minutes
Now add strawberries and crush
Add sugar, dry fruit powder. You can add cut pieces of dry fruits also.
A pinch of cardomom powder if you like
Mix everything well. You will see sooji absorbing all pink colour from strwaberry.
Serve hot. This also tastes good when cold as the sooji absorbs the flavours of strawberry
