Rava Kesari is one of the most opted for sweet due to its ease in preparation and its delicious taste. This Dryfruit Jaiphal Rava Kesari is a unique twist to the Rava Kesari. I just love the taste of Jaiphal in this!! Normally during Satyanarayana Puja the prasadam made is a rava sheera. This is somewhat closer in taste to it but made in the SouthIndian style.
Amma made this for my nakshatram birthday as a surprise. I do not know when she got up in the morning, as when I was awake around 5.30am, she walked towards me singing "Happy Birthday dear" with my favourite Dryfruit Jaiphal Rava Kesari, piping hot!! She had transferred this into a mould to give it a cake like shape...
1 cup Rava | Semolina
1 cup Sugar (if you prefer a bit less sweetness, 3/4 cup would suffice)
3/4 cup Ghee | Clarified Butter
2 cups Water
1/2 tsp Elaichi | Cardamom Powder
1/4 tsp Jaiphal | Nutmeg, finely grated
1 tblsp each of Raisins, Almonds and Walnuts, finely chopped
Method:
- Take a frying pan and add 1 tblspn of ghee. When the ghee is warm or melted, add the rava and roast till it releases a nice aroma. This normally would take about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer the roasted rava to a bowl.
- In the same frying pan, add water and sugar.
- When the sugar melts and the syrup comes to just a boil, add the roasted rava, slowly, stirring continuously so that no lumps form.
- After the rava has been added, incorporate the remaining ghee and mix well.
- Add the raisins and nuts and mix well.
- Keep stirring, till the kesari start leaving the sides and becoming thick in consistency.
- Once the kesari consistency is arrived, switch off the gas.
- Add the elaichi powder and mix well.
- Transfer into a serving bowl and serve it hot.
- We get 5 serves for this quantity.
We do hope this dish brings in all the sweetness in your life!! Enjoy...
