You'll need
- 60 ml¼cup ghee
- Cashew 10pc
- 85 g½ cup3 oz rava/sooji/semolina
- 240 ml1 cup water
- 150 g¾ cup5½ oz sugar
- 2 tbsp saffron water
- ¼ tsp cardamom powder
- Cardamom powder - 2 pinch
Method
- Move the SmartSwitch to Air Fry Mode and insert the Combi Pan into Level 1.
- Select SEAR/SAUTÉ function, set the temperature to HI 5, and press the dial to start preheating.
Our tip Sear/Sauté only works with the door open, so leave it open throughout.
- Add half of the ghee to the pan. Add cashews and roast until golden brown. Remove and keep aside for garnish.
- Add rava to the same pan and roast for , stirring continuously until light golden brown and aromatic.
- Carefully add water, saffron water, and saffron food color (optional). Mix well to avoid lumps.
- Cook until the rava absorbs all the water.
Our tip Squash a few grains between your fingers before the sugar goes in: they should be soft right through. Once the sugar is in, the rava barely softens any more.
- Add sugar and elaichi powder, then stir continuously until the sugar completely dissolves and the mixture thickens.
Our tip The sugar loosens it at first. It's done when it thickens again and comes away from the sides of the pan in one soft mass.
- Once done, carefully remove the pan and add the remaining ghee. Mix well for a rich glossy texture.
- Garnish with roasted cashews and serve
