Default Kesari Halwa - Let us start Deepavali sweets with a “melt in the mouth” halwa!

Chiroti rava - 1 cup

Ghee - 1 cup

Sugar - 2 ½-3 cups

Water - 6 cups

Cashews - ½ cup

Sultanas - ½ cup

Cardamom powder - 1 tsp

Saffron - ¼ tsp (warm & powder)

Saffron colour – a tiny pinch

Heat ¼ cup ghee, fry cashew & raisins, remove.

Add the remaining ghee, add rava & fry on medium flame till rava turns light brown (darker side than lighter side).

In the next stove, add sugar, colour & water & boil, stirring well.

Simmer the flame, add roasted rawa slowly & carefully.

Close the lid & cook on a low flame for 15-20 mts, till rava becomes completely soft.

Add cardamom powder, saffron & fried items.

Mix well & remove.

Serve hot -or Mw every time for a few secs before serving. This will just glide down your throat !
