| Quantity | Ingredients for Rava Kesari Recipe |
|---|---|
| 1 cup | Sooji / Rava / Semolina |
| 1 cup | Sugar |
| 4 -5 tbsp | Ghee |
| 15 | Cashew nuts |
| 2 tbsp | Raisins |
| 1 pinch | Orange food color (optional) |
| 2 cups | Water (or 1 cup water + 1 cup milk) |
Cooking Method |
Step 1) Add some Ghee in a pan and roast cashews first,once it turn golden add the raisins and roast until they are ballooned, do not burn them (they will taste bitter if burnt).
Transfer this to a plate and then add 1 more tbsp of ghee to the pan and then add the sooji and roast it nicely until you get a nice aroma and golden color.It will take around 8-10 minutes.when it obtains golden color remove the pan from heat and immediately transfer it to a plate to prevent browning.
Step 2) And again in the same pan add water. For this recipe I have taken two cups of water for 1 cup of rawa. However if you prefer a more creamy and richer kesari you can use 1 cup of water and 1 cup of milk for every cup of rawa. or you can use 3 cups of water for little soft kesari.
Once the water comes to a boil gradually add the roasted rava and and keep stirring to prevent lumps once you get a lump free mixture cook until all the water is absorbed by the rawa
Step 3) Once all the water has been absorbed by the rava/ sooji gradually add Sugar and mix well.The ratio of Rava to sugar can be adjusted according to your sweet preference, A ratio of 1:1 ie 1 cup of sugar for 1 cup of rawa is preferred by most people. However if you prefer a moderate sweetness you can use ¾ cup of sugar per cup of rawa. You can adjust the sweetness somewhere from ¾ cup to 2 cups of sugar for every 1 cup of rava / Sooji.
Add food color if you prefer , dissolve some color powder in water and then add to get even distribution.
