rava kesari recipe | how to make rava kesari bath recipe with step by step photos and video recipe. Currently, I am just obsessed with south Indian recipes as I now feel that I didn’t try much this cuisine. This rava kesari recipe is also known as ” kesari bhat /bath” in many regions.

Kesari means saffron here. Kesari is also a hindi word of orange color. This delicate orange color comes here from the fresh saffron threads. This is actually a key part of the recipe. For this recipe, you have to soak saffron threads for 1 hour at least in warm water or milk.Also, you can’t compromise the amount of saffron threads here because the number of saffron threads is the responsible for the shade of the color. you can even use a drop of food color as well because I understand that everyone can not afford the pure saffron especially when you are preparing it in larger quantity.

apart from this saffron preparation, you will require sooji OR fine semolina, sugar, some dry fruits and water. Since the recipe tastes very much similar to sooji ka halwa, The method of preparing the recipe is totally different.
