Take a Pan. Warm it up on medium heat. Half a cup of ghee should be added to the pan.
When the ghee has melted, add 1 cup semolina or rava to the pan. Roast the semolina until it becomes fragrant and golden brown.
While the semolina is getting roasted, take 2 ½ cups of milk in another pan and warm it. Water and milk can also be used in a 50:50 ratio instead of using only milk.
Once the semolina is roasted, add the hot milk to the roasted semolina and cook it. Also, add in the saffron strands and 1 tsp of cardamon.
Keep stirring the mixture until all of the ingredients are well combined. cover the pan with a lid and cook on low flame for 3-4 mins.
After that, add 1 1/2 cup sugar to the semolina milk mixture and stir well. Cover it with the lid and cook again for 5 mins till all the sugar melts and the mixtures become slightly thick.
Add in a fistful of mixed nuts of your choice. Piping hot sheera is ready to serve.
