Rava Kesari

It's been a while since I posted on my blog.....in the meantime I received comments from a lot of people...Thanks to everybody for stopping by my blog and posting ur valuable comments....Rava Kesari is one of the easiest sweets that we make in South India. I had prepared this for my hubby's B'day on Jan 15th but got a chance only now to sit down and make a note of the recipe. This can be prepared in just 10-15 mins.
Ingredients:
Rava/Sooji- 1 cup
Water- 3 cups
Sugar- 1.5 cups
Cardamom powder-1 tsp
Ghee- 2 tbsp
Kesari color powder or orange food color- a pinch
For Garnishing:
Cashews/Raisins
Ghee- 1 tbsp
Method:
Roast the rava in a tbsp of ghee until nice aroma comes.In the meantime boil the required qty of water and pour it to the roasted rava. Add the food color, cover & cook the rava. Now add the sugar and mix well without forming any lumps. Cook for few more mins until the Kesari thickens and doesn't stick to the pan. Add 1 more tbsp of ghee and add cardamom powder. Garnish the Kesari with some cashews and raisins slightly roasted in a tbsp of ghee.
