  • Deseed Green Cardamoms and make a powder of the cardamom seed.
  • Dry roast Besan in a non-stick pan for 5 minutes in low flame until the Besan changes the color to golden brown and emits a nutty aroma.
  • Now add the Ghee to the Besan and mix it thoroughly and cook for one more minute in low flame.
  • Start adding milk to the fried Besan slowly and mix vigorously so that no lumps formed by the Besan.
  • Keep the flame on the lower side.
  • Add entire Milk and if required add a little water in case found the mixture less runny.
  • Now add Sugar and Cardamom Powder to the mixture and keep cooking on low flame until the mixture thickens a bit (less thickened than Halwa).
  • Switch the flame off and serve the Besan ka Sheera hot.

Notes

Instead of Powdered Sugar, normal Sugar can also be used.
I have not added dry fruits which are optional.
I prefer to use homemade Ghee for this recipe.
