Take3, you asked for the recipe...here it is....

Use 1-2 tablespoons ghee (or butter/oil if you don't have ghee) and fry slivered almonds and whatever nuts you want to add. Do the same with raisins and remove from ghee.

Add 3 green whole cardamoms and 3/4 teaspoon or so of whole cloves to the ghee. When they start frying add 1 cup sooji (or cream of wheat if you don't have sooji) and 1 cup sugar. Fry until lightly browned then add 1 1/4 cups water. Stir together. Add in raisins. Sprinkle nuts on top.

Eat warm or cold. I like it warmed with a little milk poured on top.

You can also make this in cake form which is also very good.
