Ravva Kesari Dasara 700

Ravva kesari is a popular south indian sweet made from semolina during the festive season.

Rava kesari has an orange colour (the term Kesari which means Orange coloured), so i added orange food colour while making ravva kesari.

If you don't like to use any colours in food, use saffron or kesar to give the colour tones by adding little Saffron in boiling water and add to sweet. Saffron will give yellow tones and not orange, apart from that it gives a nice flavor and aroma to the ravva kesari. If you want orange tones, then add orange food colour.

Remember to roast the ravva/semolina very well to get the best texture and taste. Here i am going to prepare the sweet with water, you can also add milk and water in equal proportion (250ml each) for 1 cup. I am adding Sugar after frying ravva before adding water so that lumps are not formed at the same time ravva is also cooked even if sugar added before water.

Ravva kesari made during any Indian festivals like Dasara, Janmashtami, Diwali, while performing pooja to Sri Sai Baba and also at Satyanarayana Swamy Vratam.
