Rava Kesari / Kesari Recipe - Easy Indian Sweet Recipes

Rava Kesari is a popular South Indian sweet that is made using Semolina/Sooji/Rava. It is made during all festive occasions & Weddings. This is a simple and quick sweet, you can make this sweet instantly if you have rava/sooji at home. This is one of the easiest & quick nivedyam. This Rava Kesari even makes a quick Cake to celebrate Birthday instantly. Have cut Kesari Cake few years and even this year for my husband's birthday i made this Kesari Cake since I was sick at that time. So prepared this Kesari cake instantly(see 4th collage pic)

I wanted to share this recipe for a long time, but every time one or the other reason prevented me to click. This is the first sweet recipe I learned to make and from the first time it was successful. As its very simple and also it can be prepared in 20 minutes, I often make this sweet for all special occasions. Recently made this on Diwali day and clicked few pictures to share here. I used only few drops of ghee for flavor so my rava kesari doesn't have the glossy, shiny texture and it looks dry like upma, but taste wise it was good and I am happy with the reduced calorie/fat :) I sometimes use oil also for this Rava Kesari. Either way it tasted good, but the addition of ghee makes it rich, delicious and flavorful sweet.

Honey Drizzled Semolina Cake / Semolina Cake

This month's Home Baker's Challenge, Shama of Easy 2Cook Recipes challenged us with 6 different savory muffins, sweet muffins & cakes. Of the six i tried this Honey Drizzled Semolina cake and the cake turned out super good and delicious. A very easy and simple cake with great taste. Thank you shama for this yummy choice of recipe and i really liked it. Sure this gonna be a keeper recipe. Here i used our regular semolina/sooji/white rava, I simply pulsed it in a blender and used it in the recipe. But the semolina flour will give you a perfect cake like texture, mine was bit crumbly and crust was bit crisp we loved it too.
I also added 1/4 tsp cardamom powder to the sugar syrup since i forgot to add Vanilla to the cake batter, so the cake was dominated by cardamom flavor and it was like a buttery Indian milk sweet. Do give it a try, definitely you will love it.
