Ensure that you stir it continuously so that it is cooked evenly.<\/p>\n

Slowly add in the warm milk and whisk well to avoid formation of lump.<\/p>\n

Chef Tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n

You may add sweetener of your choice, it could be coconut sugar or granulated sugar.<\/p>\n

You may replace milk with almond, if desired.<\/p>\n

You may replace milk with jaggery simmered in water and strained; this water may be added to prepare sheera. Skip the milk if you are using jaggery water.<\/p>\n

You may increase the quantity of jaggery, if you prefer it sweeter.<\/p>\n

Increase the quantity of milk in case you want to consume a liquid-like consistency.<\/p>\n

If you need to drink water after consuming the\u00a0sheera, drink warm water only after 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
