History
I grew up eating Sooji Sheera at most religious events. It was one of my favorite things. Actually, it was every kid’s favorite thing. Growing up, cupcakes, cookies, and ice cream were not commonly served at these events. So I would look forward to some seero/sheera. When my mom made it, she would add extra nuts and ghee thinking “kids need the nutrition”. Which is probably where I get the need to add an extra tablespoon of clarified butter to the pot. I mean, who doesn’t love ghee right?
