1 cup ravo (cream of wheat) or whole wheat flour
2 tablespoon ghee (clarified butter)
¼ cup gol (jaggery or brown sugar),
grated
3 cup warm water
1
tablespoon draaksh (raisins)
¼ teaspoon elchi (cardamom seeds), slightly crushed
some saffron, mixed in a tablespoon of warm milk
some slivered almonds
¼ teaspoon sounth (powdered ginger)
Note: Use
golden raisins for a sweet taste, dark ones for a slightly sour taste
Note: The
whole wheat makes Saado Shiro more wholesome than Ravaa-no Shiro, and since it’s
cooked with water instead of milk, it’s lighter.
Note: This
is often served to new mothers, especially with the powdered ginger.
