Place a large saucepan over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the semolina and stir continuously for 3-4 minutes, toasting it until it turns lightly golden and aromatic.
Add the cardamom pods to the saucepan and stir for an additional minute to release their flavor.
Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the coconut milk and whole milk to the saucepan, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Once the liquid is well incorporated, stir in the sugar and a pinch of salt. Continue stirring over low heat for about 8-10 minutes until the pudding starts to thicken.
If using raisins, stir them in now and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing them to soften and release their sweetness.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Discard the cardamom pods if desired.
Divide the semolina pudding into serving bowls. Let it cool slightly for a warm dessert, or refrigerate for a chilled version.
Before serving, optionally garnish the top with chopped nuts for added texture and flavor. Enjoy!
