Rava Kesari Recipe – Easiest Fool Proof Kesari Recipe, Sweet kesari recipe

rava-kesari-sweet-kesari-recipe-easy

This is hands down the best rava kesari and not only that. Its the easiest and fool proof recipe. There is one thing that gets people away from trying kesari. They end up with sticky goo like kesari or end up with lumpy kesari. But this is a fool proof recipe and the kesari just glides in your mouth. It only takes 10 minutes of cooking time and 20 minutes of resting time. So you need to be attentive in the kitchen for just 10 minutes. Here is how to do it.

ratio-kesari

Take a pressure cooker (two or three liter capacity cooker) and add in the water, sugar, cardamom powder, turmeric and a pinch of salt. Turmeric is for colour. You can add saffron or a food colour too. But I personally like the yellow hue that turmeric imparts. Start the heat and let it simmer.

kesari-sugar-syrup

When the water-sugar mixture is boiling, set a pan on stove in medium heat. We will roast the rava. Add in the ghee, cashew-nuts and the rava.

dry-roast-rava-for-kesari

Start roasting the rava in ghee. The rava will initially bubble up on the sides of the pan during roasting. It will slowly settle down and a nutty smell will fill your kitchen. Keep sauteing all the time so the rava doesnt burn. The rava should start taking the color of a very mild amber.

We will need to be working simultaneously so when the sugar mixture boils, the rava is also cooked. If the sugar mixture starts boiling before the rava is roasted, do not worry. Just put the sugar mixture on a low simmer.

rava-kesari-sweet-kesari-recipe-two-pans

The rava is fully roasted when the cashew nuts have turned slightly golden and the rava has slightly changed colour. Also look for the nutty aroma. Thats a sure sign that the rava is roasted. When the sugar mixture comes to a full boil, we are ready to add in the rava.
Gently, carefully, slowly add in the roasted hot rava into the sugar water mixture. It will bubble up briefly. That’s OK. Switch off the heat / stove.

add-rava-for-kesari

Immediately after adding rava, mix well once and cover the cooker with the lid and add in the weight. Remember that the stove is off. Do not open the cooker for the next 20 minutes.

rava-kesari-sweet-kesari-recipe-cook

Open the cooker after 20 minutes and mix the kesari well. The rava would have absorbed all the moisture and would have swollen up. It will be glistening and totally lump free.

You just made yourself a glide in your mouth wonderful kesari. Look at the texture of that beautiful kesari. Its sublime. Serve the kesari warm. You can store the kesari in the fridge for upto a week.

    I’ve been looking for the “perfect” kesari recipe and this is it! I don’t have the right size pressure cooker, so I used my Instant Pot instead. I boiled the water, sugar, etc on high saute mode, added the roasted rava and cashews, put the lid on seal, and turned off the instant pot. Opened it 20 mins later and mixed it up slightly. The kesari was incredible!

    Thank you, Kannamma!

    I’d reduce sugar though.

    Thanks for this fool proof method. Doubled up the proportion of the ingredients given and made it in a 4 litre pressure cooker, with the lid closed for about 30 mins. The kesari was spot on and all at home loved it. This is only my third attempt at making this sweet and I am very satisfied with this method. Thank you so much!

      This recipe comes well in a 2 litre or 3 litre cooker only. so i would not advise to double or triple the recipe without adjusting cooker quantity. I have never tried doubling the recipe.
      You may cook twice if you are doing in a two or three liter so the texture does not get affected.

    Hi suguna. I tried out this recipe today and it was lip smacking delicious with a lovely smooth texture and heavenly taste. Had it as breakfast and we over ate to the extent that no Sunday lunch for us!
    This is a fool proof recipe that I think even novices can ace.
    I know this reply is late reg the the date of recipe posted but I wanted to share my appreciation for this novel way of cooking as I’ve never used this technique before. (Ferrari is similar to mabarashtrian sheera)

    I can’t thank you enough for the magic formula you have given us. I made pineapple kesari yesterday using the proportion. My family relished it. I could only get a spoon or two !! It came out just perfect. Thank you very much Kannamma. All love and regards.

    It turned out very oily because of which it was like flowing consistency. Sweetness was perfect, not too sweet not too less, may be ghee quantity has to cut down.

      This recipe comes well in a 2 litre or 3 litre cooker only. so i would not advise to double or triple the recipe without adjusting cooker quantity. I have never tried doubling the recipe.
