INGREDIENTS
INSTRUCTIONS
Melt the butter and ghee together in a pan on low heat.
Add the semolina and keep stirring until it becomes a golden color. Be very careful as it burns quickly so leave the heat on medium to low and be patient with it.
Then add the sugar and stir until it dissolves.
Now add the milk and continue to stir until the semolina pieces absorb the milk and the mixture has a thick consistency.
Add the ground pistachios, Mai Zahir and salt, and mix thoroughly.
Spread a bit of butter on a serving plate. Then add the pistachio and semolina mixture and spread it across the plate with your hands. Just be careful, it could be hot so let it cool a bit, but not too cold as it won’t spread easily.
Now spread all the Astha on top.
