Sooji Kheer / Semolina milk pudding

Sooji ki kheer is a creamy, delicious milk pudding made with Sooji / semolina. It is one of the easiest dessert to make when you crave for something sweets. Best served with hot pooris . Poori and kheer are one of the amazing combo and my family's favourite for sunday brunch.
