Method for Basboosa

In a mixing bowl add 1 cup ghee, 200 gm semolina, 4 ounces caster sugar, 2 ounces desiccated coconut, 2 tsp baking powder, 8 ounces cream, milk and 3 tbsp yogurt, mix slightly with a wooden spoon, stir till smooth, pour in a 13 x 9 inches pan leveled, top with spatula, make cut marks into cubes and place a almond or cashew nut in middle of each cube, bake on 180 degree C for 35 to 40 minutes, take out of oven, pour prepared syrup while hot.


     note  The sugar syrup should be lukewarm when u pour it over the dish ..it shold not be too hot



  for an idea  making basboosa regularly at home u can also use cream separtely by adding it in between the two layers of batter and believe me after cooking it tastes really yummy!!
