Am very very happy to do a guest post in Indusladies for Karwa Chauth festival.
The women enjoy this festival a lot. They break the fast with the first sip of water being given by her huband’s hand and he also feeds them with some sweet.
Today’s recipe is also one such dish they have while they used to break their fast …
Sooji Kheer is a easy and quick recipe which can be made easily with minimal ingredient. Ensure you don’t overroast the sooji. It is delicately flavoured with cardamom powder and garnished with nuts and raisins.
