Suji (Rawa) Sheera is one of my alltime favourite when it comes to any small or big festivals or pooja at home. Thanks to my wife and a little daughter who loves them like anything.
In Gujarat, Suji Sheera is traditionally served as a Prasad during Satyanarayana Pooja along with Fruits and Crushed Groundnuts with Sugar. Suji Sheera is also served as a traditional sweet dish in most of the Gujarati Houses.
Today, its Ganesh Chaturthi and I should not stop myself to share this recipe with you.
