Kesari is an Indian dessert popular throughout the country that originated from Karnataka. It is popular during the festive seasons. The word kesari refers to the spice of saffron which is usually used in this dessert which gives the color to it. However, people now a days use artificial colors to get that look. I havent used either of them. I had no saffron in stock so i dint add that and I dont like adding color as well. If you would like to you can add saffron mixing with water. Now on to the recipe....
Cooking Time : 15 mins
Serves : 4
Ingredients:
Rava/Semolina
|
¾ cup |
Sugar
|
1 cup |
Water
|
1 ½ cup |
Ghee
|
½ cup |
Cardamom powder
|
a pinch |
Cashew nuts
|
6-8 |
Method:
1. Heat ghee in a pan and add rava into it and keep on stirring on medium flame until the rava starts to change its color.
2. Off the flame and keep this side.
3. Now in a pan boil the water and add the fried rava in to this and continue stirring and be very careful at this stage not to form lumps.
4. Cover and cook on low flame for about 3-4 mins until the rava is cooked.
5. When rava is cooked you can add the sugar and cardamom powder into it slowly and keep stirring on medium flame.
6. While you add sugar they might form some lumps but there is nothing to worry coz it will slowly melt in and will be fine.
7. Keep stirring until the kesari no-more sticks to the pan.
8. Now add ghee fried cashews into it and mix and off the flame.
9. You may now transfer this to a greased pan and cool it and cut into pieces.
10 Or can even serve it hot. As it tastes the best when served hot :) :)
