Semiya Kesari (Vermicilli Kesari) is an alternate for Rawa Kesari. This delicious dish is served in many marriages now a days. The preparation is same as the rawa kesari. Nowadays many of us are trying different sweet dishes. Rawa kesari is the conventional sweet dish in my childhood. But now, we all are opting for some different kesari or sweet dishes. In kesari, we can make many varieties like Pineapple Kesari, Beaten Rice (Aval) Kesari, Semiya kesari, Banana Kesari etc. Vermicilli kesari would not be more soft than other types of kesari because the cooked vermicilli will become slightly become hard after we add sugar. But if we cook the vermicilli is nicely cooked and if we are generous in ghee then this would be a very tasty and yummy kesari!

Method:

Pour little ghee and fry the cashew nuts and keep it aside. Add the vermicilli semiya and fry for sometime in the ghee till it becomes slight red color. Take this roasted vermicilli aside in a plate or bowl

Add water to the pan and bring it to boil. Add the roasted vermicilli and stir well and allow it to cook nicely in medium flame.

When the semiya is cooked fully, add the sugar to the pan.

Adding sugar makes the kesari dilutes the mixture. Add cardamom powder and stir continuously.

When the kesari starts to get thicken and rolls like a ball, then add ghee and roasted cashews and mix well. Finally add ghee and stir it evenly and add the cashew nuts and switch off the flame
