Let’s get cooking.
- 01
Warm water with sugar and cardamom in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves. Keep hot. Slice almonds.
- 02
Melt ghee in a deep heavy pan. Add semolina and roast over medium-low heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring continuously, until golden and nutty-smelling.
- 03
Lower heat and carefully add hot syrup in small portions; it will sputter. Stir firmly, add raisins and almonds and cook 5–7 minutes until thick and the semolina is soft. Rest 3 minutes before serving.
A little kitchen care
Use a food thermometer: poultry 74°C, ground beef 71°C, fish 63°C. Cook eggs until whites and yolks are firm. Keep raw and ready-to-eat foods separate.
