this recipe

There is nothing better than a warm and sweet dessert with coffee, especially on a cold wintery day. That’s my inspiration today for making Vegan Rava Kesari. Its called "Kesari Bath" in local dialect in Karnataka and it is my personal favorite dish to make with Semolina (Rava). It's a traditional Indian dessert that is typically made with lots of ghee. So, as I was trying out vegan options for ghee, I struck gold with my combination of coconut milk and other ingredients I have listed here.

In my vegan journey thus far, I have definitely been delighted by the way this recipe has turned out. After all, it is possible to prepare awesome desserts without dairy!

So much that it has become a huge hit in my family. It takes less than 30 minutes to prepare. So, when you have guests to entertain on short notice, Vegan Rava Kesari is the way to go. One little side note on that is you will need to have the ingredients readily available. Of all the ingredients I have listed, saffron strands might be the hardest one to get. But I can tell you from personal experiences and trials that it is definitely worth the extra effort. The aroma of saffron is just heavenly.

Ingredients:

• • 1 cup Rava( semolina)

• • 1 cup of canned coconut milk

• • 1 ¼ cup water

• • 2 saffron strands

• • 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar

• • ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder

• • 3 tablespoon olive oil

• 10 cashews( optional)

Directions:

Place a pan over medium heat with 2 teaspoon olive oil and roast the rava or semolina. You can easily tell from the aroma. Place the semolina on a plate and let it cool. In the same pan, boil 1 ¼ cup water and 1 cup coconut milk and drop the saffron strands in them.

When it starts to boil, add the roasted semolina. Stir well to remove any lumps. After about 3-4 minutes of constant stirring, add sugar and olive oil and continue to stir. Continue to stir until all the ingredients are evenly mixed. Now, add cardamom powder and roasted cashews to it and mix well.

Vegan Rava Kesari is ready!
