This Indian recipe for Shira, or saffron semolina pudding, is so quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

1. 11/2 tsp ghee or vegetable oil
2. 16 raisins
3. 12 cashew nuts, roughly chopped
4. 5 tbsp semolina
5. 75g unrefined caster sugar
6. 300ml full-fat milk
7. Pinch of saffron strands
8. Toasted flaked almonds, to garnish

Method

1. 1. Heat the ghee or oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the raisins and nuts and cook for 2 minutes. Add the semolina, turn down the heat, then cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Stir in the sugar and mix well. Add the milk and saffron and cook over a low to medium heat, whisking well, for 4-6 minutes, until the semolina is soft and thickened.
