This delicately saffron flavored semiyan can be had either warm or cold, depending on how you like it. Since stuff like evaporated milk, condensed milk, pre-cut dry fruits are readily available in stores, this sweet dish is fairly simple and quick to make.
This recipe makes for 4 people. But if you have a sweet tooth (like me and all others in my family;) ), this will be good for only 2!
You need:
Very fine semiyan (crush it and one fistful is good for 1 person)
Ghee/ Oil - 1 tsp (ghee tastes better)
Milk - 1 cup
Green cardamom powder - 1 tsp
Sugar (3/4 cup or adjust as per taste)
Evaporated milk - 1 big can
Slivered almonds - 1/2 cup
Raisins - 1/4 cup
Saffron - 5-6 strands
1) Heat ghee in a pan and add 2 pods of green cardamom. Add Semiyan in ghee and roast on very low flame till it turns golden brown.
2) Add milk, cardamom powder, evaporated milk and cook for 4- 5min. Keep stirring.
3) Now add sugar and stir till you get a consistency that is shade thinner that what you usually prefer to eat. Switch off the flame immediately as semiyan thickens a little as it cools.
4) Immediately add the almonds, raisins and saffron and stir.
5) Garnish with almond or pistachios.
* Use sugar substitute for diabetics.
** Use low fat or fat free evaporated milk to make a low calorie dessert. But expect a difference in taste.
*** You can omit Saffron if you don't have any.
