Sujir Payesh

Sujir Payesh/Semolina Milk Pudding

Sujir payesh or loosely  translated as Thin Semolina/rava kheer or pudding is a light creamy dessert with little runny consistency.The preparation is very much like Mohonbhog but is little lighter on ghee. the best part of this is its very quick to make and tastes equally good warm or cold. In our family we love it on chillier days when we seek comfort in a bowl of warm gooey Suji'r payes. It tastes very good with Luchi as well.

Ingredients :

Fine semolina / suji / rawa - 5 tbsp

Milk - 21/2 cups (preferably full fat milk )

Sugar - 3 tbsp or more as per taste
Condensed milk - 6 tbsp
Ghee - 2 tbsp
Cashew - 2 tbsp
Raisins - 1 tbsp
Green cardamom - 1

Method :

Take the semolina in a skillet or kadhai and dry roast till its golden ( approx 5 - 7 minutes ). Keep stirring continuously or it might burn at the bottom. Take out the semolina and soak it in warm milk. Keep aside for 20 minutes for the semolina to soften. If at the end of time you see it has soaked all the milk then add 1/2 cup of warm water. This might happen depending upon the kind or quality of semolina you are using. The one I used for this recipe was very fine and this amount of milk was good for it to give me an end result of thick creamy payesh.
