I live in India and India has a lot of festivals. Most of the Indian people make many dishes on the special occasions. If I give my example then in my home I make Sheera and this is the festival, birthdays, anniversaries and some happy occasions for like inauguration or specially on the Satyanarayan puja. In Satyanarayan puja, Sheera is the main prasad and everyone have to share this prasad in the Katha. To make this Sheera there are only few ingredients are required that is milk, soji, sugar, ghee and dry fruits. Dry fruit is optional if you are capable of putting dry fruit in the Sheera that is okay that is your comfortable choice. But I try I always put dry fruit on the top of the Sheera because it looks very tempting and taste is definitely very delicious. Most of the time mostly if someone wants to Sheera on Sundays or weekends I usually make it for my family and we enjoy by having it and it is very simple recipe. We just add ghee and soji and we just to saute for few minutes if the colour changes into pink then we just add a few amount of milk or a water and after that we just have to wait for a few minutes more and then our Sheera will ready. We can garnish it with the saffron as well as the dry fruit also it looks very delicious. It taste was very delicious and it look very attractive and we can serve as a hot meal or if someone like to cool it down then someone eat after cooling it. This is my most favourite meal when I use it on our traditional festivals.

I live in India, and India has a lot of festivals. Most Indian people make many dishes on special occasions. If I give my example, then in my home, I make Sheera, and this is for festivals, birthdays, anniversaries, and some happy occasions like inaugurations or especially during the Satyanarayan puja. In Satyanarayan puja, Sheera is the main prasad, and everyone has to share this prasad during the Katha. To make this Sheera, only a few ingredients are required: milk, soji, sugar, ghee, and dry fruits. Dry fruits are optional; if you are comfortable adding dry fruits to the Sheera, that is okay. But I always put dry fruits on top of the Sheera because it looks very tempting, and the taste is definitely very delicious. Most of the time, if someone wants Sheera on Sundays or weekends, I usually make it for my family, and we enjoy having it. It is a very simple recipe. We just add ghee and soji and sauté for a few minutes. If the color changes to pink, then we add a small amount of milk or water. After that, we just have to wait a few more minutes, and then our Sheera will be ready. We can garnish it with saffron as well as dry fruits; it looks very delicious. The taste is very delicious, and it looks very attractive. We can serve it as a hot meal, or if someone likes to cool it down, they can eat it after cooling. This is my most favorite meal during our traditional festivals.
