Sheera one of the popular sweet dish & i'm sure everybody have some memory attached to it...The name brings me nostalgic memories...:)
I remember on Sundays when dad comes back from his morning walk he used to get hot sheera & poori from the famous sweet shop the taj mahal in Mangalore wrapped in banana leaf , when opened imparts a lovely aroma & the ghee oozing out wow!!! it was awesome hmm, those were the days... :)
Even now as soon as i finish cooking the sheera i immediately wrap it in a banana leaf for 5 min...
So here is the way i cook sheera when my nephews or guests come home by adding lot's of dates, figs, apricot & nuts...This festive season try fruit & nut sheera & enjoy with poori 😋
