    Course Dessert
    Cuisine Pakistani
    Servings 4 -5

    Ingredients
      

    • ¼ cup oil or ghee
    • ¾ cup fine suji semolina
    • 3 ½ cups water
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 4-5 cardamom pods
    • Food color optional but recommended

    Instructions
     

    • In a pot, add oil followed by suji.
    • Stir and let the suji roast for 10-15 minutes on low to medium heat or until it gives off a nutty aroma. Make sure to keep stirring because the suji can burn very quickly.
    • While suji is roasting, on another stove, boil water.
    • Once water has come to a boil, add sugar followed by cardamom pods (crushed open).
    • Let the sugar dissolve completely about five minutes.
    • Pour the sugar syrup into the suji and continue cooking on low heat for a few minutes or until the suji has thickened up.
    • Add two drops of yellow food color.
    • Garnish with chopped nuts and serve warm.
