Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Ghee
- 1 cup Chickpea flour (Besan)
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Whey protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped almonds
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cashews
- 2 tablespoons Raisins
- 0.25 teaspoon Saffron strands
Instructions
In a small bowl, soak the saffron strands in a tablespoon of warm milk and set aside.
In a deep non-stick pan, heat the ghee over medium heat.
Once the ghee is hot, add the chickpea flour, almond flour, and rolled oats. Stir continuously for about 7-8 minutes until they turn golden brown and release a nutty aroma.
In a separate pot, bring the milk and water to a gentle boil.
Slowly add the hot milk and water mixture to the roasted flour mixture, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Be careful, as the mixture will splutter.
Reduce the heat to low and add the sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely.
Mix in the whey protein powder, cardamom powder, and soaked saffron milk. Ensure the protein powder is well incorporated without forming clumps.
Cook the mixture until it thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan, about 5-7 minutes.
Gently fold in the chopped almonds, cashews, and raisins.
Turn off the heat and let the sheera sit for a couple of minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve warm, garnished with additional nuts or a pinch of saffron if desired.
