1,2,3 Kesari

I learnt making kesari from my mother. Ok here goes the easy way to do it

1. One portion rava fried in ghee. For 1 cup rava, I use 1.5 tbsp of Ghee. You can adjust accordingly.

2. Once rava gets mild brown in color remove it from stove, cool it

3. Boil three portions of water in the same wok.

3. Add rava to boiling water. Once the rava absorbs water well, add two portions of sugar. Little less than two would also taste good.

4. Add a pinch of kesari powder and mix well.

Add cardamom powder and roasted cashews to garnish.

Serve hot :-)Now wasnt that easy? It s just an easy interpretation of what I was taught.For those of you who don't know what kesari is, it's a sweet dish served in south india. Without the kesari powder it s called halwa and served in north India.
