Rava Kesari

You Need:

Rava - 1 cup

Sugar - As per sweetness

Cashew nuts - For garnish

Raisins - 2 tsp

Milk - 2 cups

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

Ghee - 4 tsp

Yellow food color - pinch

Take a non stick pan, fry the semolina in little ghee until it is lightly browned. 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 more water for the rava to cook.

Once the rava is cooked, add the sugar to the rava and it will liquefy the mixture again. To it add 2 tsp of ghee and yellow food color. Cook till the mixture starts to thicken. Switch off the flame. Add the nuts and raisins.

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

Traditional Kesari is ready now. Enjoy this sweet delicacy with a cup of tea:)
