Recipe for Bowl Sheera or Restaurant Sheera
Restaurant Sheera or ‘Bowl Sheera’ is something I thought I could only enjoy only at a Restaurant and Never in my wildest dreams would I ever have thought I would succeed making it at Home! But I’m so Happy &Thanks to COVID, I proved my rubbish assumption totally wrong! Yayyy! Since I’m still not quite comfortable eating out too often during these times, I’m trying my hand at a lot of my ‘Restaurant Favourites’ at Home, some successful, some not so successful. But this, turned out way above my expectation! As kids, Sheera & Puri used to be my brother and my favourite Sunday breaky. After Mass and Sunday school, we would enjoy our Sheera Puri at a South Indian Restaurant in South Bombay called ‘AnandAshram’..We loved their Sheera so much that even when we would go to eat a Thali, we would request the waiter to replace the dessert in the thali with Sheera 😊 Also, once a year, the Muslim community would organise an Urs or Urus(like a fair) with so many food stalls late at Night, outside the Darga near where we lived & Mum n Dad would take us to specially eat Halwa Puri at the stalls. Also, when we used to go to Goa for our Summer hols, there would be a day where the Hindu community would organise a Puja on the Volleyball ground near our House and the Puja would go on till late night. After the Puja they would distribute this Super Yummy Sheera to all the Neighbours in the Village and My Brother & I would wait for our share like bukkads! So yeah! We have a Heart to Heart connection with SHEERA! 🙂 🙂 Very recently, we enjoyed a bowl of Sheera at a South Indian Restaurant here in Dubai and OMG it took me back to AnandAshram and I was so hellbent on trying to make it at Home. Ever since I participated in a Food show on TV, I’ve learnt and got into the habit of tasting & trying to guess the ingredients in the dish and I try my best to replicate it on my own, with some help from the internet if there's something too complicated or I can't understand. The outcome of Some, I’m super Happy with and Some I feel like laughing and crying at the same time! hahahah What Mum makes at Home is a No Fuss simple Sheera which we cut into pieces and eat like a cake. So for us, in our head, Bowl Sheera could only be enjoyed at Restaurants. I’d be lying if I said that as I kid, I didn’t try my stunts of adding Water and Milk(and lots of it) to Mum’s Cake Sheera, to make it like our favourite ‘Bowl Sheera’ but, I never got it right but failed miserably.. So, FINALLY…. here’s my tried-tested-failed-tried again-failed a second time-didn’t give up-tried again and succeeded attempt at our favourite Restaurant Style ‘Bowl Sheera’
