Sooji Halwa Recipe: How To Make Rava Kesari
Sooji halwa is an authentic sweet that is prepared for all auspicious festivals, ceremonies and family functions. Rava kesari is the South Indian counterpart of the sooji halwa; the only difference being the colour. Generally, food colouring is added in the kesari to give it a saffron colour.
Rava sheera is also offered to God as prasad and is also made for family gatherings and functions. The aroma of the sooji roasted in ghee and the addition of cardamom powder makes this sweet a perfect one to satisfy the sudden sweet cravings.
Kesari bhath is a quick and simple recipe to make at home, though it is important to get the texture perfect without any lumps. So, carefully read the step-by-step procedure along with the images to prepare the sooji halwa. If you'd want to watch a video recipe as well, scroll on.
