Sanza

Sanza is a pudding made from wheat,and is particularly famous in Maharashtra. I learnt this recipe when I visited Shirdi. I made this as prasadam for Navrathri - just 15 minutes and it was ready.



Ingredients:-

1. Cashew - 20 gms
   
2. Raisins - 10 gms
3. Cardamom - 3 cloves
4. Milk - 3 cups
5. Cracked wheat rava - 1 cup
6. Grated jaggery - 3/4 cup ( 1/2 cup if less sugar desired)
   
7. Ghee - 5 tbsps

Method :-

1. Fry cashew and raisins in 2 tbsps of ghee until the cashew turns light brown.Keep the cashews and raisins aside, and fry the wheat rava in the remaining ghee until it browns.
   
2. Boil the milk in a separate saucepan, then add the rava and stir for two minutes. Cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for 3 more minutes.This should cook really quickly.
   
3. Boil the jaggery in 1/4 cup water, until the jaggery melts and bubbles form. This should take less than 5 minutes
4. Add the jaggery syrup to the rava-milk mixture, mix well with the remaining 3 tbsps of ghee.
   
5. Add the toasted cashews and raisins as garnish.
