Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup semolina
- 2 medium banana
- 2 cups milk
- 0.25 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons ghee or butter
- 0.25 cup mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, cashews, walnuts)
- 2 tablespoons raisins
- 0.25 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds. Chop the nuts into small pieces and set them aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee or butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the semolina and roast it for 3-4 minutes, stirring continuously, until it turns light golden and gives a nutty aroma. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of ghee or butter. Toss in the chopped nuts and raisins, and sauté for 2 minutes until the nuts are lightly golden and the raisins puff up. Remove and set aside for garnishing.
Pour the milk into the pan and bring it to a gentle boil. Stir in the roasted semolina gradually, whisking constantly to prevent any lumps.
Add the sugar and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Stir well until the sugar dissolves and the semolina absorbs the milk, thickening the mixture. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
Add the cardamom powder and gently fold in the banana slices. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the bananas to soften slightly but not disintegrate.
Turn off the heat and let the semolina rest for a minute. Garnish with the sautéed nuts and raisins before serving.
Serve warm. Enjoy it as a dessert or a sweet breakfast!
