Mixed fruit kesari

 10 yrs ago in New York, NY by

Mixed fruits kesari is a rich delicious Indian sweet made with rava, fruits, sugar, ghee and nuts.  It is also a very popular South Indian dessert which is not only easy to make but also can be prepared instantly.  Kesari is generally made during festivals and special occasions in South India.  Fresh fruits added to this fruit kesari  gives a nice freshness and good flavour to the dish.  You can also add only pineapple chunks and make pineapple kesari which is also equally tasty and flavoursome sweet dish.  You can add your own choice of fruits like chickoo, papaya, orange, apple or banana or seasonal fruits available at that time.  In this recipe I have added a mix of fruits like pomegranate, apple, banana and pear.

Roast the rava till you get a nice aroma and the raw smell goes away.  Do not change the color of the rava.  Set the roasted rava aside.  Add another 2 tablespoons of ghee to the same pan and add cashewnuts and roast till light golden brown in colour.  Add raisins and stir till it gets puffed up.  Set it aside.

Once the water starts boiling, lower the flame and add the roasted rava little by little.  Mix the rava quickly and stir well.  Ensure there are no lumps in the mixture.  Once the rava is cooked well and begins to thicken, add sugar and mix well.
