Carrot Rava Kesari

Carrot Rava Kesari - Preparation time 20 mins
I thought of making rava kesari, but without using the artificial kesari colour. Saffron (kumkuma poo) is very costly so, i thought of using carrot to bring that yellowish orange colour. I tried of in a little quantity to findout how the colour comes. It looked and tasted good. Colour won't be like the artificial colour anyway this will be an healthy dish. While eating this kesari occasionally you will get the taste and bite of carrot. Happy Independence day.
En - Anubhavam

Ingredients :-
Small rava - 1 cup (keep the same cup for all (sugar, carrot, water) measurements)
Sugar - 2 cup
Water - 3/2.5 cup
Ghee - 1/2 to 3/4 cup
Grated carrot - 1/2 cup
Cashew - 1 tbsp
3 Cardamon powdered

Preparation method:-
In a kadai add 1 tbsp of ghee, grated carrot and fry till the raw smell of carrot goes off. Transfer to a bowl and keep.
In same kadai roast the rava with 2 tspn of ghee till it changes colour to light brown. Take care and don't burn it. Try to do in low flame.
When nice aroma comes and rava is roasted, add the fried carrot, measured water and boil. The rava will absorb all the water and become thick.
Add measured sugar, cardamon powder and cook. The rava will become thick and starts getting shiny look from sugar. Slowy keep adding the ghee and mix.
Roast cashew in ghee and garnish. Turn of the flame when it becomes thick. It will become dry when it starts cooling.Carrot rava kesari is ready try out. You might like this sweet.
