Heat a deep pan over medium heat and when it is hot, add the ghee. When the ghee melts, add the soji and stir to mix well.
Roast the soji (stirring frequently) until it begins to turn a very light golden color and gives off a faint aroma. This aroma is enough to make your mouth water! The roasted soji will have the grainy consistency of wet sand at the beach.
Add the cashews and raisins to the soji and mix well.
While you are roasting the sooji, in a separate pot over medium heat, bring the water, milk, sugar, and cardamom to a rolling boil, stirring often.
This next step involves much bubbling and splashing so be prepared and careful! When the soji is roasted, gently add the water-milk mixture, stirring all the while to prevent lumps from forming. Sometimes it helps to have a cooking partner who will pour while you stir.
If any lumps do form, make sure to break them with the back of the stirring spoon so you get a smooth paste-like consistency.
Cook the mixture until it is thick and begins to come away from the sides of the pan.
Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool to lukewarm. Serve in individual bowls, garnished with coarsely chopped dried fruit or nuts if desired.
Serve and enjoy.
