Sheera is a pudding made with semolina. It is made both in north and south India but is referred to with different names. In Karnataka, it is called 'Sajjige'. You can also add some pineapple pieces to this preparation to make pineapple pudding. In some places it is served as a dessert. In the fast food restaurants in Bangalore, this is served for breakfast with upma / uppittu. In many north Indian temples, the halwa is given as 'prasad'. Also in North India, puri halwa is served for breakfast.

1 cup medium rawa (sooji or semolina)
3/4 cup to 1 cup sugar (depending on how sweet you want it)
