Ghee          : 1/4 cup.
Boiling water :  1cup.
Cardamom Powder : 1 tsp.

In a wok, heat ghee. Saute  semolina in ghee on medium flame till semilona changes its colour to light white. Now add boiling water with continuous stiring, so no lumps are formed.Switch off the stove put on lid and keep for 5 minutes.
Add sugar, mix well. Put on stove on low flame. Saute till all sugar gets melted and mixes with semolina.


Once sheera cools downs. Divide sheera and make golf size balls.

Maida          250 gms. (All purpose flour)
Salt              1/4 Tsp.
Water           1/2 cup.
