Recipe

Ingredients

2 large	oranges
1 cup	semolina (rava)
1 cup	sugar
1 cup	milk
2 tablespoons	ghee
1 teaspoon	baking powder
1 teaspoon	cardamom powder
1 pinch	salt
1 teaspoon	orange zest

Instructions

1. 1 Peel the oranges and separate the segments, removing seeds if any.
2. 2 Blend the orange segments into a smooth puree and set aside.
3. 3 In a mixing bowl, combine semolina, sugar, milk, and ghee. Mix well.
4. 4 Add the orange puree, baking powder, cardamom powder, salt, and orange zest to the semolina mixture. Stir until well combined.
5. 5 Let the mixture rest for 15-20 minutes to allow the semolina to absorb the liquid.
6. 6 Grease a non-stick pan with ghee and preheat it on low flame.
7. 7 Pour the batter into the pan and spread it evenly.
8. 8 Cover the pan with a lid and cook on low flame for 20-25 minutes or until the top is set and the edges start to leave the pan.
9. 9 Check with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the Santra Pola is ready.
10. 10 Let it cool slightly before flipping it onto a plate.
11. 11 Garnish with chopped nuts if using, slice, and serve warm.
