This is my post for Day5 BM#7 "Combo Meals" Group2.
"Chikoo kesari and Urad dhal vada....a evening snack combo with hot coffee....." Medhu vada is common and the kesari recipe is as follows...
Chikoo kesari--this was new to us until we had it from the Sunday spl mini tiffen from sangeetha restaurant near our house..
My daughter never takes any fruits..but somehow liked this dish so wanted to give a try.....and it came out perfect and now i make this often so atleast she takes this fruit in this form...Going to the recipe.
Ingredients:
Chikoo- 2 fruits(peel and cut into medium pieces removing the seeds)
Roasted Rava- 1 cup(if not roasted roast the rava in a dry pan till you get a nice aroma)
water-2 cups
Sugar- 1 1/4 cup(can adjust acc to ur taste)
Cardamom powder- 1/2 tsp
Pacha Karpooram- a pinch (optional)(Edible Camphor)
Ghee-4 tblsp
Cashew- 6-7 pieces(broken to small bits)
Raisins- 6-7 pieces
Method:
1.Peel & deseed the fruit and grind to a smooth paste without adding any liquid.
2.Heat a kadai,take 1tsp of ghee and when hot fry the cashew and raisins and reserve
3.Add the ground fruit pulp in the same kadai and saute for 3-5 mins and then add the water measured and mix in the cardamom powder and edible camphor if using and bring to a boil.(No need to add colour because this kesari has a natural fruit colour and aroma...
4.Slowly add the roasted rava stirring vigourously to avoid any lumps
5.Then when the rava is fully cooked,add the measured sugar and mix evenly.
6.Then add the remaining ghee one spoon at a time and keep stirring,till u get a not thick consistency but the contents of the kadi starts leaving fat on the sides..this may take some 5 mins after the addition of sugar.
7.Then garnish with the fried cashew and raisins and Serve!
