Rava Kesari

We celebrated my hubby's birthday last tuesday and I made this sweet that evening..I have made this sweet several times but hasnt come out well..This is my grandma's recipe and it came out really too well..My grandmother is really an expert in making this..This sweet always makes its presence at home when someone's birthday is celebrated..

                            
 
Ingredients

Semolina / Rava - 1 cup
Sugar - 11/2 cup
Water - 2 cups
Ghee -1/4 cup
Kesari powder - 1 pinch
Cardamom powder - 1 teaspoon
Cashews and raisins

Directions

Add a teaspoon of ghee in a pan and roast the cashews and raisins and keep aside..In the same pan add the rava and a teaspoon of ghee and roast until it gives a nice aroma and set aside..
In a non-stick pan, bring to a boil 2 cups of water and add the cardamom powder, kesari powder and sugar..Once the sugar dissolves add the semolina little by little and keep on stirring to prevent the formation of lumps...This should be done in medium-low heat..Add the remaining ghee..When the ravai gets cooked switch off the heat and garnish with roasted cashews and raisins..
