Ravo | Parsi Semolina Dessert
Servings 3
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp ghee
- 15 gm butter refer notes
- 1/2 cup semolina
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt optional
- Roasted nuts for garnishing I used almonds, pistachios and raisins
Instructions
- In a thick bottomed pan, melt ghee and butter.
- Add the semolina and roast till it turns golden. Do it on a low flame so that the semolina doesn't get burned.
- Add the water and sugar and give a mix.
- Once the water is absorbed, add the milk and the flavorings and keep whisking till the mixture thickens and has no lumps.
- Cook for a couple of minutes and switch off.
- Serve hot or cold with some nuts on the top.
Notes
Instead of using a mix of ghee and butter, you can use ghee alone.
Usually, nutmeg is also used as a flavoring, but since I don't have it, I skipped it.
The nuts used for garnishing are usually almonds and chironji seeds. But you can use whatever is available in your pantry.
Just like every dessert with semolina, it tends to thicken as it sits. Add hot water to loosen and check sweetness.
