Sheera, also known as suji halwa, is a comforting Indian dessert often prepared for breakfast, festivals, or special occasions. Traditionally, it contains a generous amount of sugar, making it unsuitable for those trying to reduce sugar intake.

By replacing sugar with Sugar Free Stevia Powder, you can enjoy the same rich flavour and texture of classic sheera—without added sugar. This recipe is suitable for diabetics, fitness-conscious individuals, and anyone looking to make healthier food choices.
