  Hi Yazdy,
  I believe Sheera is a South Indian Delicacy.
  
  Here's the recipe.
  
  1 cup Semolina
  3 cups water
  3/4 cup sugar
  3/4 cup Ghee
  A few Raisins & diced Almonds or Cashewnuts
  4 powdered Cardomoms.
  A few saffron threads soaked in a tsp of Milk
  
  Heat Ghee, add semolina and roast lightly,add the raisins & nuts. Add the sugar stir and add water stirring continously. Add the powdered cardomom and saffron. If you wish to add a yellow coloring dissolve color in a little warm water and add.Keep stirring - The sheera clings to the spoon when done. Flatten on a greased plate with the back of the spoon. Cut into diamond shapes when cooled.
  
  Good luck!!
