Wheat Flour Sheera

Ingredients : (serves 4)
1 cup wheat flour , 3 tbspn Ghee ( Clarified butter) ,
1 cup Sugar , a pinch of salt , 1/2 tspn cardamon powder ,
3/4th cup water , 3/4th cup milk. 10-12 cashews

Procedure :
Heat ghee in a nonstick pan till it melts. Add the cashews till they change color and fish them out. Add the wheat flour to the same pan which still has ghee. Roast on medium heat for about 15 minutes or till the wheat flour turns golden brown. Make sure you stir at regular intervals to avoid browning in patches. It has to be evenly roasted through out. After about 15 minutes the aroma of the roasted flour will indicate that its ready.
Heat oil + water together to a boil and add it to the roasted flour. Stir quickly to avoid formation of lumps. Immediately add sugar and a pinch of salt and stir well . The sugar releases moisture and eases stirring. It now gets a dough like consistency. Add the cardamon powder and roasted cashews. Sheera is ready to serve.
