 Method:

• First pour 1tsp ghee in a pan and fry the cashews and raisins and set aside. 
  
  
  
  
  
• In the same pan fry the Rava until nice aroma comes and set aside. The colour should not change. Same time boil water in a non stick pan and add the salt to it.
  
  
  
• When the water is boiling hot add the rava slowly around the pan so that it does not form lumps anywhere. Keep mixing with aladdle in one hand. Close the pan with a lid.
  
• When the Rava boils well add the milkmaid slowly by mixing the Rava with a laddle to avoid lumps. If you dont like milkmaid you can also replace it with thick milk and sugar.
  
• Now the texture will be creamy and it will boil with froth on the top surface. When you see the rava is cooked well add the coco powder and the cardamon powder and mix well.
  
• Mix well evenly and check for the taste. If you feel sugar is less add some more milkmaid, or only sugar. Now keep mixing as it comes to the texture of kesari.
  
• Now when all the water has been absorbed and it comes like a paste add the roasted nuts and mix well.
  
• Keep mixing until it comes like a halwa without sticking to the surface of the pan. Transfer it into a cup and serve hot. You can add melted chocolate or chocolate syrup as a topping.
