Tutti Frutti Sheera

Sheera is a very popular sweet dish all over India, but 'Tutti Frutti Sheera' is my innovative dish. Normally, sheera is prepared by frying rava in ghee and then cooking it with water and sugar. Here I have used butter instead of ghee and flavoured it with tutti frutti, mixed fruit and vanilla essence.

Measurement: 1 Cup = 180 ml
Ingredients:

1. Rava (sooji) - 3/4 cup
2. Sugar - 1/2 cup
3. Butter - 2 to 3 tbsp
4. Milk - 1 cup
5. Water - 1 cup
6. Tutti frutti - handful
7. Mixed fruit essence (flying bird) - 6 to 8 drops
8. Vanilla essence - 4 drops

Procedure:

• Melt butter in a kadai and add rava.
• Stir fry till it changes colour and gives out aroma.
• Add tutti frutti to rava
• Combine milk, water and sugar in a thick bottomed pan. Bring it to boil.
• Add essence.
• Add rava to it. (Both should be hot)
• Stir well (don't keep on stirring, it will become sticky) and cook covered for 2 min. Keep it covered for another 2 - 3 min.
• Press it in a mould or a small bowl and invert it on a plate.
• Serve hot.
