Creamy Semolina Pudding with Milk and Eggs

1.In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent it from scorching.

2.In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined and slightly frothy.

3.Once the milk is simmering, gradually add the semolina while continuously stirring to prevent lumps from forming.

4.Continue to cook the mixture, stirring constantly, for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency.

5.Remove the saucepan from heat and slowly pour the egg mixture into the semolina mixture, stirring constantly to temper the eggs and prevent them from scrambling.

6.If using, add the ground cardamom, raisins, and chopped nuts, and mix well to combine.

7.Return the saucepan to low heat and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring gently until everything is heated through and well combined.

8.Pour the pudding into serving bowls or a large dish and let it cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or chilled.
