Equipment

Heavy Bottomed Pan

Ingredients

1 cup Semolina (Sooji / Rava)
2 cups Sugar
3 cups Water
¼ cup Ghee
1 handful Cashews
1 pinch Cardamom Powder
1 pinch Kesar (Saffron) Colour

Instructions

Pour little ghee in a pan and keep it in flame and fry the cashew nuts till they become golden brown colour and keep it aside in a plate.
Add 3 cups of water to another sauce pan and bring it to boil.
To the pan, add the Rava and fry for sometime in the ghee till we get nice aroma color and we get a nice aroma
Add the hot boiling water to the Rava in the pan and stir well and keep the flame low and allow the Rava to cook.
When the Rava is cooked, add sugar to the pan and mix well. Adding sugar, makes the rawa to get diluted again, so do not panic, keep the flame low and keep stirring till the rava again starts to thickening.
Add cardamom powder and kesar color and mix well. Finally add ghee and stir it evenly and add the cashew nuts and switch off the flame. We can exclude kesar color and go naturally by adding saffron strands in the hot water
The mouth-watering Rava / Sooji Kesari is ready to serve.

Notes

We can avoid kesar color and add saffron threads soaked in warm water instead.
Coarse Sooji would be much perfect than fine sooji
Keep stirring continuously to prevent lumps
