  • A fat pinch cardamom
  • 5-6 strands saffron soaked in 1 tbsp hot water

Instructions

  • Heat ghee in a large saucepan.
  • Fry the nuts and raisins, drain and set aside.
  • Into the same ghee, add the semolina and roast till fragrant.
  • Add the water and mango pulp and keep stirring till it is completely moist and mixed well.
  • Add the sugar and cardamom and cook till sugar is soaked up and done.
  • Finally sprinkle the saffron water and give a good mix.

Notes

Adjust sugar as per the sweetness of the mango pulp. I used fresh mangoes and hence added more sugar, but for tinned pulp, you may not need all that sugar.
