Kharwa Rava Kesari is a delightful Indian dessert made with roasted semolina, infused with aromatic cardamom and enriched with ghee, making it a rich and gluten-free treat. This dish is often enjoyed during festivals and special occasions for its unique texture and vibrant color.

Ingredients

• Kharwa Rava (finely ground gluten-free semolina) - 100 grams
• Ghee - 50 grams
• Sugar - 80 grams
• Water - 250 ml
• Cardamom powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cashews - 10 grams
• Raisins - 10 grams
• Saffron strands - a pinch
• Food color (optional) - a few drops

Steps

1. In a pan, heat 50 grams of ghee over medium flame.
2. Add 100 grams of kharwa rava and roast it until it turns golden brown and aromatic, stirring continuously to avoid burning.
3. In a separate pot, boil 250 ml of water and add 80 grams of sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
4. Once the rava is roasted, slowly pour in the sugar-water mixture while stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
5. Add 1/2 teaspoon of cardamom powder and a pinch of saffron strands. Mix well.
6. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens.
7. In the meantime, in a small pan, heat a little ghee and fry 10 grams of cashews and 10 grams of raisins until golden.
8. Add the fried nuts and raisins to the kesari and mix well.
9. If desired, add a few drops of food color to enhance the appearance and mix until well combined.
10. Remove from heat, let it cool slightly, and serve warm.
