RAVA KESARI RECIPE

INGREDIENTS (1 CUP = 240ML )

ingredients for rava kesari recipe

  • 1 cup semolina or rava or suji
  • ¾ to 1 cup sugar (prefer organic)
  • 2 ½ cups water or milk (refer notes)
  • ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder or elaichi powder
  • 2 pinches natural kesari coloror saffron strands
  • 5 to 6 tablespoons Ghee or clarified butter (I used 5 tbsps)
  • 12 Cashews (use as needed)
  • 12 raisins (use as needed)

HOW TO MAKE THE RECIPE

Prepration for rava kesari recipe

  • Heat 2 tbsp ghee in a heavy bottom pot and fry cashews until light golden. Then add raisins and fry until they swell up. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  • In the same ghee add the rava and fry on a low to medium heat until aromatic and crunchy. Do not brown or discolor the rava as the aroma of the rava kesari will change.
  • While the rava is getting roasted, pour water to another pot and bring it to a boil.

How to make rava kesari

  • When the water turns boiling hot, slowly pour it to the rava by consistently stirring to prevent lumps. 
  • The water will be absorbed by the semolina soon. Keep stirring and make sure there are no lumps.
  • When you see there is no excess water in the pan, then cover and cook on a low flame for 2 to 3 mins. This is just to ensure rava is cooked completely and turns fluffy.
  • Add sugar and mix well. Sugar will dissolve and the entire rava kesari mixture turns gooey. Keep stirring and cook until the mixture thickens and the moisture is evaporated.
  • Then sprinkle cardamom powder, saffron or kesari and ghee. I used about 3 tbsps ghee. Mix well and cook for 2 to 3 mins until the rava kesari leaves the pan. Cover and rest for 2 to 4 mins.
  • Grease a mould or round cup and then scoop some rava kesari to it. Level the top.
  • Invert the bowl or mould to a plate. Gently shake off. Garnish rava kesari with cashews and nuts. You can also fluff up the rava kesari with a fork to make it fluffy.

Funny incident - Einstein

A FUNNY INCIDENT OF EINSTEIN I cant control my laughter after reading about him.....  Einstein was once travelling from Princeton on a train when the conductor came down the aisle, punching the tickets of every passenger. When he came to Einstein, Einstein reached in his vest pocket. He couldn’t find his ticket, so he reached in his trouser pockets. It wasn’t there, so he looked in his briefcase but couldn’t find it. Then he looked in the seat beside him. He still couldn’t find it. The conductor said, ‘Dr. Einstein, I know who you are. We all know who you are. I’m sure you bought a ticket. Don’t worry about it.’ Einstein nodded appreciatively. The conductor continued down the aisle punching tickets. As he was ready to move to the next car, he turned around and saw the great physicist down on his hands and knees looking under his seat for his ticket. The conductor rushed back and said, ‘Dr. Einstein, Dr. Einstein, don’t worry, I know who you are. No pr...
