Kesari Bath/ Rava Kesari

Rava Kesari/ Kesari bath is my all time favorite sweet. This is a lil different from our usual kesari bath, as we use Course Rava for this preparation.This is very simple version and you can never go wrong if you follow this method. This preparation does not need lot of ghee in it, but trust me this tastes great as well.

• Once Rawa is done add hot water and stir it well, then add 1 cup sugar and mix it well.
