Rava Kesari (Wheat Semolina Pudding)

Rava Kesari or wheat semolina pudding, is one of those quick and easy sweet treats that is a delight to enjoy any day. It is an extra bonus when the littlest person of the house also asks for it and enjoys each spoonful with a huge smile! No wonder it is a regular in our house :)

So here it is, my version of the simple and good old Indian sweet Rava Kesari :)

Ingredients: 1 cup wheat semolina, half cup melted butter/ghee, half to 3/4 cup raw sugar, 1 teaspoon cardamon powder, 2 cups water, food colour, few strands kesari, nuts/glazed cherries.

Make: In a non stick pan, fry the cup of wheat semolina with the melted butter/ghee on low flame. It should take 8 to 10 minutes for the aroma to release and semolina to turn golden in colour. Next add the sugar, cardamon powder and strands of kesari and mix well. Keep in low flame and slowly add the water (warmed water is better), stirring continuously to avoid lumps. At this stage add a drop of food colour if you wish. Keep stirring until it all thickens and no longer sticks to the pan. Turn off and pour into your desired dish and decorate with nuts or if you may like to present as above - afterall, pretty food not only looks good, tastes better too!! 
The perfect easy dessert for festivities or just to enjoy any day!

BANANA SHEERA Variation: Follow the exact method as above, simply add mashed Banana at the stage just before adding water and mix well. 











Here is another version of the same Rava Kesari, just a different food colour! I call it "Semolina Bites" :)
