How I did it

2. Fry kaju, drain the excess ghee, keep aside.
3. Add raisins, let them puff and keep aside.
4. Roast the rava with 2 tbsp of ghee on low flame till it turns golden, stirring frequently.(take care not to burn)
5. Take water in thick bottom vessel, boil water add rava slowly and stir frequently to avoid lumps. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
6. Add sugar and ghee  elachi powder to cooked rava and stir well till sugar mix well with cooked rava.

My Notes

1. Don't compromise on  ghee. Add little more if you prefer.
2. This recipe purely depends on ghee for taste and flavour.
3. You can powder the sugar and use.
4. Make sure that rava is fully cooked before adding the sugar.
5. Kesari color is optional. I like natural color of rava kesari.
