- Almonds – chopped
- Water 4 cups
Preparation
- Take a non stick pan and put it on medium low heat.

- Now Add Ghee (keep some Ghee ( around a tablespoon away)
- Start Stirring, the Sooji and Ghee will get mixed.
- If the mixture looks too dry then you can add the remaining Ghee as well, otherwise there is no need to add additional ghee.
- Keep on stirring, soon you would get nice aroma coming from the mixture.
- The mixture will turn slightly brownish.
- Now boil the water (you can boil it in the kettle or microwave as well)
- Mix the Sugar in it completely.
- Now add this water and sugar syrup in the pan and stir rapidly.
- The Sooji mixture will start getting thickened as the water absorbs. Be careful not to scald yourself as the mixture starts bubbling.
- Keep on stirring rapidly for a minute or so.
- Take it off the heat.
- Add Kishmish and Almonds
Tip: You can also add some Green Elaichi Powder and some cut coconut( or grated coconut)
