In Maharashtra "Prasadacha Sheera"(Sooji Halwa) is the must for "Satyanarayan Pooja". This Sheera is offered as Prasad in Pooja.  This sheera called as Narayan Sheera too. We offer this Prasad with "Panchamrit".
I remember when we were kids, we love to sit next to Satyanarayan Pooja to offer Prasad to guests, so that we get a chance to eat more Prasad ;)

Ingredients:
1 Cup Semolina/Sooji
1 cup Sugar
1 Cup Ghee (clarified butter)
2 Cups hot milk
1 ripe Banana (Sliced)
1 tablespoon Cardamom powder
Raisins (As per your need)
Pinch of Saffron

Method:
Heat Ghee in a pan. Add Semolina and roast it for 2 minutes. Add Banana and roast Semolina till it becomes little brown. Add hot milk into the Semolina and stir till semolina absorbed the milk.
Add cardamom powder, raisins, saffron.  Stir it well. Add sugar and mix well.  Cover it and let it cook for 5 minutes on slow heat.

Prasadacha Sheera is ready!!
