Add Ghee to a pan. Once warm, add Sooji to it. Cook on low to medium flame for 5-7 minutes.
Once the Sooji absorbs all the Ghee, add cardamom powder to it. The sooji should now have the fragrance of being well roasted and the color should also change darker, from cream to light brown.
Add the granulated sugar to the roasted sooji. Add saffron strands as well. At this point, you can add color to it as well.
Add the hot water. Keep stirring so it does not form any lumps.
Add the fried cashews and raisins. Mix well.
Serve warm. Decorate with silver leaf and chopped almonds and pistachios.
