Ingredients

  • 1 cup sooji/semolina/rava,
  • 2 nos soft apples, washed and grated
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 2 nos clove, crushed
  • 1½ cups sugar
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 cups water
  • 5 tablespoon ghee
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 3 tablespoon cashew-nuts
  • 3 tbsp raisins

Instructions

  • Before we start with our kesari, in a sauce pan take milk and water mixed together and heat it in a low flame. When we add this liquid to the kesari it should hot. Adding hot liquid is important to get a good texture rava dish.
  • Heat a heavy bottom pan, add a teaspoon of 2 of ghee, roast cashew-nuts until golden and remove. Add raisins to the hot ghee, when it plumps up, remove it from ghee. Set both aside until use.
  • To the same pan, add 1 tablespoon ghee, and roast the rava/sooji in a simmer flame, until it is golden brown. Even if you are using pre-roasted rava, do not skip this step. Transfer the roasted rava/semolina/sooji onto a clean plate.
  • In the same pan, add 2 tablespoon of ghee, add the grated apples, cloves powder and cinnamon powder and sauté for 5 minutes, until apples release a nice aroma. To this now add the roasted rava and saute for 2 minutes.
  • Now add the hot milk and water to this and mix well. Take care while adding the liquid to hot pan, it will splutter. Reduce the flame, add the liquid slowly,
  • Keep stirring to avoid lumps. If the liquid is hot enough, there won't be any lumps. If you get lumps, don't worry, just take your potato masher and mash it well.
  • Keep the flame simmer. Let the rava/semolina cook well. As it cooks, it will absorb all the liquid. So keep the flame simmer and stir frequently or else it might burn at the bottom. It might take around 10-15 minutes for the rava/semolina cook soft.
  • Once the rava is cooked, add sugar to this. When sugar is added, the kesari/sheera might liquify a bit, do not worry, it will get absorbed.
  • Now add the remaining ghee and oil and mix well. Once all the liquid is absorbed and the kesari follows the ladle as you mix, it is done.
  • Add the roasted cashewnuts and raisins. Take it off the stove. serve warm and enjoy this flavorsome dessert.
