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)

Method:
