Serves : 4
  • 1 cup semolina (sooji)


  • 2 plums, sliced


  • 1 tsp. butter


  • 1/4 tsp. cardamom powder


  • 1/4 tsp. salt


  • 1/2 cup castor sugar


  • 1/3 cup melted butter / oil


  • 1/2 cup yoghurt


  • 1/2 cup milk


  • 1 tbsp. pistachios, sliced or any dry fruits


  • 1 tbsp. cherries, chopped


  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder


  • 1/4 tsp. saffron

Directions

  • In a bowl mix together semolina, salt, cardamom powder and sugar. Then add in the butter, followed by the yoghurt and milk. Combine everything well and leave aside for 15-20 minutes.
  • Heat butter in a pan and saute the sliced plum for a minute on a medium flame. Set aside to cool down.
  • After 20 minutes, check the consistency of the semolina mix. It should neither be too dry or too soft. Add more milk if required.
  • Lastly add in the pistachios, cherries, baking powder, baking soda and the sauteed plums. Mix well. Place the muffin liners onto a muffin pan and spoon the batter into it.
  • Bake in an oven at 180 degrees C. for 20-25 minutes. Do the toothpick test to ensure it is perfectly baked.
  • Cool on a wire rack and sprinkle some caster sugar. Garnish with a small piece of cherry and enjoy as a tea-time snack.
