Rava Kesari

Whenever I make this evening snack /dessert, my youngest sister comes to my mind for its her favorite dish.

Ingredients:

Rava/Semolina-1 cup
Water-2 cups
Sugar-11/4 cups to 11/2 cups as you need.
Salt -a pinch
Ghee- 4 tbsp(I use very little  ghee)
Cashew and kismis to garnish
Food Colour(optional) or Kesar

Method:
In a pan,Heat ghee.Roast cashew and kismis.Keep it aside.In the same pan roast rava until a nice aroma comes or rava appears more granular.Keep the flame low  so that the rava doesn't get burnt.Add sugar and salt.Stir and then add boiling water.Add the food colour.Keep the flame low.Stir well.When the mixture starts to separate from the sides of the pan, add ghee.Mix weel and transfer the mixture to another flat vessel.Spread neatly and cut into desired shapes.Garnish with cashew and kismis.

Points to Ponder
If using kesar,add them to boiling water.
Some people use milk instead of water, but then shelf life gets shorter.
Can add cardamom powder for a flavor.
