Method :


1) Heat 1-2 tsp of ghee in a thick bottom kadai / pan and saute raisins & cashews  in it ,one by one. When they turn golden brown remove and keep aside.

2) In a same kadai  with leftover ghee,  roast rava over medium flame for 3 minutes or until it turns slightly golden brown. Make sure it doesn’t get burnt.
3) Boil water on the other side when roasting rava.
4) Once rava is roasted, add sufficient boiled water and carefully mix to make sure no knots are formed. 
5) Add sugar,salt and ghee.Mix everything . Keep mixing until the kesari starts leaving its sides .
6) Finally , add cardamom powder and nuts. Give a gentle mix and switch off .

Now Kesari bath is ready to serve . Serve hot or warm . 


Note:


1) Adding as much as ghee gives good flavour.

2) Pineapple essence and pieces can also be added - http://princessncooking.blogspot.com/2016/08/pineapple-kesaribath.html

3) I wanted the natural color to the kesari, so i have not added the color to it.
