Strawberry Sooji Sheera / Strawberry semolina pudding

Sheera or Halwa, you might think that it is not your thing or it is not that cool looking dessert, right?

Well, Strawberry sooji sheera is an attempt to give modern make over of the traditional dessert. Traditionally people used to make sheera during spiritual occasion or festival but now a days they are considered bit old fashioned.

In Maharashtra, India people usually make sheera using pineapple or mangoes. My inspiration behind this recipe was Prasadam (feast offered to god) of Iskcon temple. Another variation to try out would be using blueberry which will give it a bright purple color which you would not have seen anywhere.

Adding berries is a great way to elevate nutrition value of this dessert. Berries have the greatest antioxidant content per serving compared to any other food except spices. Which may help us reducing blood cholesterol, good for your skin, protect against cancer and lot more see how.

According to me this recipe is pretty healthy than eating dessert which is made up of all purpose flour , being fried and loaded with sugar. What do you think? let me know in the comment section below. Don’t forget to check my weight watchers sizzling brownie recipe here.
