INGREDIENTS
For Soaking:
1 cup suji
1 cup milk
For Cooking:
1 litre milk
1 tsp cardamom powder (elachi powder)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup condensed milk (optional)
few strands of saffron (kesar)
dry fruits of choice (I used almonds, cashews, pistachio and raisins)
METHOD
In a deep bowl or dish soak 1 cup suji with 1 cup of milk and keep aside for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
After 30 minutes to 1 hour, pour milk in heavy bottomed pan. Add cardamom powder, kesar and soaked suji little by little stirring continuously to avoid any formation of lumps. Use whisk for creamy and smooth texture.
Add sugar and milkmaid and cook on low to medium flame till sugar dissolves completely. As soon as it becomes little thick turn off the flame. Don't make it too thick else after coming down to room temperature it will become more thick.
Add dry fruits and keep in fridge to chill or serve warm.
