Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups fine sooji (semolina)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup greek yoghurt
- 2 tablespoons cashew nuts, chopped
- 2 tablespoons raisins
- 2 tablespoons almond flakes
- 1 teaspoon cardamom powder
Directions
-
Heat the ghee in a thick-bottomed pan over medium heat, add the milk and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
-
Add the sooji and all-purpose flour and stir constantly for 2 minutes until it forms a paste.
-
Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
In a separate pot, bring the water to a boil.
-
Once boiling, add the mixture from the previous step. Reduce the heat and let the mixture blend in with the water. Let this simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Once the sooji has thickened and the mixture is soft to the touch, let it cool down slightly - this is when you can add the yoghurt and mix it in.
-
Transfer the mixture into a serving bowl and add the nuts, raisins, almond flakes, and cardamom powder. Mix all the ingredients together gently.
-
Let the Double Ka Meetha cool down completely before serving.
Recommended Sides
This is a great dessert to serve with lightly sweetened yoghurt, decorated with honey and nuts. Or for a more savoury alternative, serve with a lightly-spiced vegetable korma.
If your family is anything like ours, you can also have some fun and encourage the kids to get creative with decorating the Double Ka Meetha – so don’t forget to buy some icing sugar and edible decorations, and get ready for some messy kitchen shenanigans! (It's all in the name of cooking fun, after all!)
