Rava Kesari
Posted on Tuesday, October 14, 2008 at 12:18 pmI made this for Satyanrayana Pooja. I would classify Kesari as one of the items that can be bravely attempted inspite of not being allowed to taste before pooja. Its a matter of ’sweet content’ and the appearance of the cooked food will guarantee the other aspect which is ‘properly cooked’.
Required Items - 2 cups of Rava(Sooji), sugar 2.5 cups, 1 cup ghee and other flavoring items.
- Fry the rava in a spoon of ghee until it turns light brown.
- Add 3-4 cups of water to the fried rava and allow it to boil and cook well.
- Once its cooked, slowly add the sugar. Keep stirring.
- Sugar will melt and bind the cooked rava.
- Add the remaining ghee while stirring. Also add Kesari powder.
- Once its cooked, add ghee fried cashews & raisins
- To this add cardamom powder and Pachai karpooram(camphor used for flavoring)
