Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • ½ cup rava / semolina
  • 1 ½ water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ¼ cup ghee
  • ¼ tsp cardamom powder
  • 2 tsp broken cashew
  • 2 tsp raisins
  • Pinch of kesari color or orange food color

Instructions

  • Heat 1 tsp ghee in a non stick pan and fry the cashews till golden. Set aside. Add the raisins to the same pan and fry till they puff up. Set aside.
  • To the same pan add 1 tbsp ghee and add the rava. Fry the rava in a low-medium heat until it starts turning golden brown and gives out a nice aroma. Set aside.
  • Add water to the pan and bring to boil. Add the rava slowly and keep stirring in a medium heat until the rava is cooked. Make sure no lumps are formed.
  • Once the rava is cooked well, add the sugar, kesari color and rest of ghee. The mixture will start to loosen up now. Make sure no lumps are formed.
  • Cook stirring continuously until it starts to thicken, starts leaving the sides of the pan. Also it would have absorbed all the ghee.
  • Now add cardamom powder and garnish with fried cashew and raisins.

Notes

  • Make sure no lumps are formed after adding the rava and sugar.
  • Add sugar only after the rava is cooked well.
