Method
Chop the pitted dates into small pieces, and if you have saffron soak it in a spoonful of the water.
In a small pot put the dates with the rest of the cup of water over medium heat, cook for 5 minutes and mash into a soft paste.
In another pot heat the 4 tbsp ghee over low heat and add the cup of semolina.
Toast the semolina in the ghee for 8 minutes, stirring, until golden and fragrant.
Add the date paste to the semolina little by little with the ground cardamom and saffron.
Stir over low heat for 5 minutes until the mixture holds together and pulls away from the sides of the pot.
Spread it in a serving dish and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
Garnish with sesame if you have it, and serve warm.
