Ingredients

  • 1 cup Sooji/semolina, dry roasted
  • 3/4 cup or more sugar according to your taste
  • 1/2 cup Ghee
  • 10-12 strands of saffron
  • 3 cups of water
  • Nuts of your choice - cashews, almonds

Instructions

  • In a bowl soak the saffron strands in some warm water.
  • Meanwhile, keep the water for boiling in a pan. Add sugar to this.
  • Next, add water soaked saffron and once it comes to rolling boil and sugar melts completely, switch off the flame.
  • Cover the sugar syrup and keep it aside.
  • Heat a thick bottom pan/ wok.
  • Add 1 tbsp of ghee and saute all the dry fruits one by one for a minute on low flame.
  • Take them out on a plate. Next add remaining ghee.
  • Once warm, add dry roasted Semolina into the pan, stir it well on low flame for a while.
  • There is no need to roast further as here we have used roasted suji.
  • After that add hot sugar syrup to semolina. Stir continuously on high to medium flame to avoid any lumps.
  • It might get lumpy but don't worry, keep stirring it until the halwa becomes smooth in texture.
  • Once the mixture starts to leave the sides of the pan and comes together, lower the flame and cover it.
  • After a while check if all the syrup is absorbed. Switch off the flame.
  • Garnish it with dry fruits and serve hot.
  • Enjoy your Rava kesari.
