Sheera / Rava Kesari

Sheera, Rava kesari or Kesari all are same ...

                           My hubby’s preferred  sweet  whenever he is back from  official tours the first demand will be of  Sheera  with his evening tea; so I   prepare it  in my kitchen  once in  every  15days. Here is my hubby’s favourite sweet dish Sheera.

                                              The recipe of sheera may differ from kitchen to kitchen but this is how I prepare.

Preparation

Take ¼ cup of ghee in wok and heat.

Add Cashewnuts and almond chopped once it turn light brown add raisins 

After adding raisins add Rava (semolina)

Fry without leaving hand until it become light

Once it is fried keep aside

In same wok take milk, add water and sugar

Bring it to boil see that sugar is dissolve

Once it start boiling add cardamom powder and fried rava by stirring continuously see that no lumps are formed

Add a pinch of salt (enhance taste) mix well

Add saffron (soak saffron in warm milk 10minutes before), close the lid, and cook

Once rava absorbs milk and water add remaining ghee and mix well

After adding ghee mix well (at this stage you may feel the ghee is excess, don’t worry once sheera get cool it absorbs ghee)

Sheera is ready….
