Ingredients
  

  • 6 tbsp Ghee
  • 3 tbsp Cashew
  • 1 tbsp Raisins
  • 1 cup Fine Rava/sooji/semolina/cream of wheat
  • ½ tsp Cardamom powder/crushed cardamom
  • ¾ cup Granulated sugar You can add more if required
  • 2¾ cup Water or Milk
  • 6 pinches Saffron
  • ¼ tsp Salt

Instructions
 

  • Heat ghee in a pan on medium-low flame. Fry cashew nuts and raisins and keep aside. Turn the flame to low and add the Rava. Stir frequently while roasting Rava for even cooking. Roast till the ghee is separated and the color of the Rava changes slightly ( it should not become brown).
  • As you begin to roast Rava, on another burner bring to boil, water, saffron, granulated sugar and salt.
  • Once the Rava is roasted and the sugar syrup comes to a nice boil, add the syrup to the Rava mixing continuously. Take care while pouring as the mixture splutters. Break lumps, if any while mixing.
  • Once the Rava absorbs the syrup, mix in cardamom powder, cashews and raisins, keep aside a few for garnish.
  • Switch off the flame and cover the pan and let the Rava Kesari steam for 5 mins.
  • After five minutes, remove the lid. Stir Rava Kesari. If you want to make slices, then immediately pour the Rava Kesari into a steel pan or tray. Spread evenly and when warm or cooled, cut into diamond-shaped or square slices. Alternatively, you can use any shape mold you prefer while still hot.
  • Melt in your mouth, simple and easy Rava Kesari/Suji Halwa is ready to serve hot or warm. Enjoy!!

Notes

  •  If you use milk instead of water, it is called Milk Kesari which will be a richer dessert.
