Rava Kesari Recipe - Harshita's Kitchen

This is the easiest sweet recipe I guess. It was fabulous! It taste almost like the Sooji Halwa but its shape, colour and texture makes it a little different. I liked it do much.

Well, I made this an after lunch recipe because I like to have a sweet daily after every meal. It is easy to make if guests arrive without any notice! They will definitely be amazed by your creativity and you will get compliments. 🙂
I saw this recipe at Raks Kitchen and I was drooling by then.
Getting compliments feels very nice……I have experienced this a lot many times 😀 And, it was so great to have it! It tastes great at room temperature but you can warm it for 10 seconds in the microwave and it will taste awesome!!! 😀
