It is a sweet made of sooji aka rava. It is called by different names in different places like rava halwa / rava kesari / kesari bath. It comes in various colours like orange, bright yellow etc. Mine is in shocking pink !!!



Ingredients:

Preparation: Measure sooji aka rava and fry till slightly brown in a dry pan for sometime (stir continuously). Keep it aside and pour some ghee in a kadai and fry some cashews and raisins. Take them out and in the same kadai pour little more ghee if needed and pour water which would be double the measurement of sooji / rava. Add sugar according to your taste.
