Tips from an expert ” My Dadi ” :

The recipe which I am sharing is my Grandma’s recipe. She told me a few tips to make aate ka sheera perfect. Roast the wheat flour till you get a nutty aroma and color changes to light golden brown (without letting it burn) till ghee starts to ooze out slightly from outer sides. Be precise with the Ratio of Ghee: Flour: Milk to make it soft and melt in the mouth texture. Please do not cut the amount of ghee here, because ghee is the key ingredient for best sheera. So have this full bowl of sheera, you will feel full and energetic. Don’t calculate calories while having this delicious traditional Indian sweet because homemade food is always healthier than outside food.
