Resepi Suji Badam: A Delicious and Healthy Treat
Suji badam, also known as semolina and almond pudding, is a popular Indian dessert that is both delicious and nutritious. This recipe is easy to make and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup suji (semolina)
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup almonds, slivered
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 1/4 teaspoon saffron strands
- 2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Prepare the Suji: In a saucepan, combine the suji, milk, sugar, and salt. Stir well to ensure there are no lumps.
- Cook the Suji: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until the suji is cooked through and thickens.
- Add the Flavors: Add the almonds, raisins, cardamom powder, and saffron strands to the cooked suji. Stir gently to combine.
- Garnish and Serve: Pour the suji badam into a serving dish. Drizzle with melted ghee and serve warm or cold.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat milk.
- To prevent the suji from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan, use a non-stick saucepan or grease it lightly with ghee.
- You can add other ingredients to the suji badam, such as chopped dates, pistachios, or cashews.
- To make a vegan version of suji badam, replace the ghee with vegetable oil and use almond milk instead of cow's milk.
