Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Ghee
• 1 cup Chickpea flour (Besan)
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Whey protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 1 cup Water
• 0.5 cup Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
• 2 tablespoons Chopped almonds
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cashews
• 2 tablespoons Raisins
• 0.25 teaspoon Saffron strands

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, soak the saffron strands in a tablespoon of warm milk and set aside.

Step 2

In a deep non-stick pan, heat the ghee over medium heat.

Step 3

Once the ghee is hot, add the chickpea flour, almond flour, and rolled oats. Stir continuously for about 7-8 minutes until they turn golden brown and release a nutty aroma.

Step 4

In a separate pot, bring the milk and water to a gentle boil.

Step 5

Slowly add the hot milk and water mixture to the roasted flour mixture, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Be careful, as the mixture will splutter.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and add the sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely.

Step 7

Mix in the whey protein powder, cardamom powder, and soaked saffron milk. Ensure the protein powder is well incorporated without forming clumps.

Step 8

Cook the mixture until it thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 9

Gently fold in the chopped almonds, cashews, and raisins.

Step 10

Turn off the heat and let the sheera sit for a couple of minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 11

Serve warm, garnished with additional nuts or a pinch of saffron if desired.
