Aval Kesari - Flat rice/ Poha Dessert
I wanted to make some sweet in the last minute for my 3rd Anniversary... but dint want to make the usual Rava Kesari!!
I saw this recipe in Sharmi's Passions, to make kesari out of Aval/ flat rice. I just made a little changes in the procedure, used milk instead of water to make it super rich and ta da!! Made my anniversary special dessert for my hubby... in about half an hour. And it was too yummmy!! I can't forget the taste!
Now to the recipe for you:
Ingredients:
(Serves two)
Aval / Flat Rice/ Poha - 3/4 cup
Ghee - 3 + 1 tbsp
Sugar - 1/2 cup
Cashews - 1 tsp
Raisins - 1 tsp
Thick Milk - 1/2 cup
Water - 1/2 cup
Orange Food Color - a pinch
Saffron - 6-7 strands (Soaked in warm milk for 10 mins)

Method:
1. First wash the aval/ flat rice 2-3 times thoroughly to remove any impurities. Strain the water and leave it aside for 20 mins. It will absorb the water and get fluffy.
2. Heat a non-stick pan, add 1 tbsp of ghee and roast the cashews and raisin together. Remove them and keep it aside for garnishing.
3. In the remaining ghee, roast the soaked aval/ flat rice (add without water). Roast for 2 mins until the aroma rises and the color changes. You can also grind the soaked aval before roasting it, so that your kesari will be of smooth texture.

4. Now add the milk and water to the aval. Let it boil for 10 minutes and the aval will get cooked completely.
5. Add sugar, food color (mixed in a tsp of water) and saffron along with the soaked in milk. Mix thoroughly and let the mix become thick.

6. Now add 3 tbsp of ghee and keep stirring on medium flame. The mixture turns into golden orange color, forms like a single lump without sticking to the pan. Keep stirring until the ghee oozes out and the kesari becomes of scooping consistency.
7. Switch off and serve with the fried cashews and raisins. Yummy :)
