Rava Kesari


Rava/Sooji1/2 cup
Sugar1 cup
Water1.5 cups
Ghee1/4 cup
Cashew nuts6
Saffrona pinch
Warm Milk1 tsp
Cardomom powder1/8 tsp
Kesar food colora pinch

Take 1 tsp of ghee and roast the cashewnuts.Soak the saffron in 1 tsp of warm milk (optional)
Heat 2 tsp of ghee in a pan and roast the rava until it turns pink in low - medium flame.A nices aroma comes out at this stage.Transfer it to a separate bowl and keep this aside
Boil 1.5 cups of water.Now add roasted rava slowly with constantly stirring so that no lumps are formed. Switch off the flame and leave it for 5 minutes so that all the water is absorbed
The rava would be now cooked in the hot water. Switch on the flame and add sugar and kesar color.The mixture will dilute at this stage. Stir it continuously to avoid lumps
Add the remaining ghee little by little until the mixture thickens.Also add the cardamom powder & soaked saffron. Switch off the flame once the required consistency is reached
Note that the consistency will get thicker after some time.So switch off the flame just before the required consistency is reached
Garnish with fried cashews
