Rava Kesari

Ingredients:
1 Cup - Soji Coarse Rava
1 Cup - Sugar
2 1/2 Cups - Milk
4 TableSpoons - Butter / Ghee
2 Pinches - Cardamom Powder/Elaichi Powder
1/2 Cup (All together) - Kismiss, Cashew Nuts Pieces and Almonds Pieces [Optional]

Procedure:
1. Take a wide pan and heat butter/ghee.
2. Add kismiss and nuts to the butter and fry them on low flame.
3. Once kismiss puffs up and the nuts start to turn light brown, add Sooji Ravi and fry it until the rava turns light brown. All this has to be done on low-medium flame and has to be sauted continuously.
4. Add milk and let the milk boil. Keep mixing in-between, so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
5. When the milk starts to boil, add sugar, cardamom powder and keep stirring. Adding sugar will dilute the dish, but keep stirring until 80% of the liquid is evaporated.
6. At this point check if the sooji is cooked, if not add more milk and cook.
7. Switch off the stove and close the pan with a lid.
8. Serve this sweet after 10 minutes.

Note: You can substitute milk with water, but the dish would taste better when made with Milk.
