Yo hice dos postres por la simple razón que tenìa todos los materiales ademàs que este es el ùltimo dìa para el post. (Cocinè ayer los dos postres) pero son simples y deliciosos.



Ingredientes


1 taza de rava (o semolina)


2 cucharadas de ghee o mantequilla


1 taza de agua


1 taza de leche


3 cucharadas de azùcar (o se puede poner màs segùn el gusto)


1/2 taza de nueces surtidas (pueden ser nueces, almendras o pistachios)

2 cucharadas de pasas de uva

1 cucharadita de Cardamom en polvo (es delicioso)

hilos de azafràn (opcional)


Mètodo


Calentar el Ghee o mantequilla en una olla o sartèn y agregar la semolina, hasta que estè fragante y tostada.

Mientras tanto, calentar el agua y la leche juntos hasta que hierva.

Agregar el azafràn i se va a usar.

Agregar el azùcar ala mezcla de semolina y revolver bien.

Agregar las nueces y las pasas a la mezcla y revolver bien por un minuto más.

Poner sobre la mezcla de agua/leche caliente la mezcla de semolina(cuidadosamente porque a veces borbotea un poco) y revolver constantemente por varios minutos hasta que el budìn estè espeso y cremoso.

Agregar el cardamomo en polvo. Servir tibio o caliente, con unas rebanadas de bananas encima. (no le puse porque no tenìa) pero igual quedo delicioso, debe ir bien el cardamomo con las bananas.

  3. Dear Gloria,
    I do not have any cardamom. Is there another spice that I can substitute for it? To tell the truth, I taught cooking for 10 years but I am not familiar with cardamom. If you have time,please make a comment on my blog and tell me about it.

    Thanks and have a great day.


    By the way, I was adopted like your twins. It is a blessing to be loved enough that someone adopts you. Your twins are lucky to have you for a mom.

  7. Mmmm, this looks tasty. I remember my mom always made cream of wheat on cold winter mornings - if she had made it like this, then I would have eaten it without complaint! Nice job, Gloria.

    Muchos besos,
    Amy
