Rawa Kesari/KesariBhaat

Rawa kesari,an easy and wonderful dessert .Yesterday was my 's' birthday,who's a sweet lover...more than that never fed up with eating it,what else can i make for my sweet kothiyan rather than this tasty kesari.Actually i did't know that it's so simple n can be made so quickly.Amma makes kesari very tastly,but i havent noticed how she makes,u know well girls rarely enter kitchen before marriage,same with me too.But after marriage we should start cooking,no other option but now i love cooking .Though kesari is quite simple,one should be careful while adding water to rawa to avoid lumps.when i made,got lumps and mashes it with dal masher.Anyway it came out very well,he loved birthday sweet.
Ingredients
Rawa/semolina/sooji 1cup
Water 2cup
Sugar 1 1/2cup
(i used granulated sugar)
Cardamon 2 powderd
Ghee 1/4cup
Kesari colour apinch
Cashewnuts 8-10
Raisins 8-10
Almonds 8-10

Method...
In a thick bottomed pan,pour 1tsp ghee and roast rawa till it becomes cream in color or till a nice flavour comes.Boil water in another pan ,add kesari colour to it.In a small pan roast cashew,raisins n almonds with ghee and set aside.once rawa is roasted,bring fire to low flame.Add water and stir continously to avoid lumps.When it's almost cooked,add sugar,cardamon,ghee and mix well.Keep stirring till the kesari leaves the pan.At last add roasted nuts .u can serve hot or if u like to cut kesari in pieces.pour it in a ghee spread plate,when it is cooled ,cut into required shapes.

I went through your site and i think you shouldnot call yourself a newbie. The title should be reserved for people like me(10 yrs ago) who had to go thru recipe to cook plain white rice.

Hi Remya,
kesari bhaat looks so delicious. I make mine without the color powder as I don't like the dark red color. But yours look so pleasant and mild. I have changed my mind. will try it with some color next time. Beautiful presentation.
