Chocolate Rava Kesari

You Need:

Rava - 1 cup

Sugar - As per sweetness

Cashew nuts - For garnish

Raisins - 2 tsp

Milk - 2 cups

Cocoa powder - 2 to 2 1/2 tsp

Water - 1 cup ( you can also use 3 cups of water or milk)

Ghee - 4 tsp

Take a non stick pan, fry the semolina in little ghee until it is very lightly roasted and you get nice aroma of rava. Keep aside.

Then fry the raisins and nuts in little more ghee.  Keep aside.

Then bring water and milk to a boil. Add the rava and stir continuously to avoid clumps. Reduce to medium low flame. Stir until the mixture thickens and rava is cooked well. If required, add water for the rava to cook.

 Mix the 3 tsp of melted ghee and cocoa powder in a separate bowl. 

Once rava is cooked well, then only add the sugar to the rava and it will liquefy the mixture again. To it add the cocoa-ghee mix. Cook till the cocoa mix is cooked well and the mixture starts to thicken. Switch off the flame.

Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled. Either way it tastes splendid. 

Different and delicious kesari is now ready.

Serve to your guests and this will be "talk of the day" :)
