Ingredients

  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 3 cups Water
  • 1/2 cup Coconut cream
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Cardamom powder
  • 2 tbsp Ghee substitute (vegetable oil)

Instructions

  1. 1Place a medium saucepan on the stove over medium heat (350°F / 175°C). Add the 2 tablespoons of ghee substitute (vegetable oil) and let it warm up for about 30 seconds.
  2. 2Add the 1 cup of all-purpose flour to the warm oil. Cook, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon, for 5-7 minutes, or until the flour turns a light golden brown and smells slightly nutty. This step is important to cook out the raw flour taste.
  3. 3Gradually pour in the 3 cups of water while stirring continuously. Keep stirring to make sure there are no lumps and the mixture is smooth.
  4. 4Add the 1/4 cup of sugar and the 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom powder to the saucepan. Continue to stir the mixture over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until it thickens to a smooth, porridge-like consistency. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  5. 5Stir in the 1/2 cup of coconut cream until it is fully combined. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until the aseeda is heated through.
  6. 6Serve the Dairy-Free Aseeda warm.
