Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 4 tbsp ghee in a heavy pan over medium heat. Add 1 cup semolina and toast, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly golden, about 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add 0.5 cup mixed nuts and 0.25 cup raisins. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring, until nuts are toasted and raisins plump slightly.

  3. Step 3

    Carefully pour in 2 cups water (mixture will splutter). Stir well and bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low.

  4. Step 4

    Add 0.5 cup sugar and stir until dissolved. Cook, stirring often, until pudding thickens and pulls away from the pan, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes. Serve warm, garnished with 1 tbsp dried rose petals.
