Rava Kesari


Rava kesari is a common sweet in South India.  It is a simple, easy to make and a delicious sweet.  The amount of sugar can be adjusted according to your taste.  You can add fried cashews to the Kesari.  Enjoy!

Ingredients

Semolina (Rava) - 1 cup
Sugar - 11/2 - 2 cups.
Raisins
Cardamom - 3
Butter - 3 tbsp
Yellow color powder

Method

Add butter in a pan and when the butter melts, add the raisin.  When the raisin becomes plump, add the semolina and fry the semolina until it becomes pink in color.  Add 3 cups of water and the yellow color and let the semolina cook well in the water. 


When the semolina is cooked, add the sugar and stir well.  The sugar makes the mixture little watery.  Keep stirring until the semolina starts leaving the sides of the pan.  Garnish the kesari with crushed cardamom.


You can pour the mixture in a pan and cut them into pieces for serving. Enjoy!

  1. Yummy Kesari :) Adding 1 cup of milk instead of 1 cup of water increases the taste Felcy. Try that next time. I always use hapf milk and half water.
