WHEAT RAVA KESARI / BROKEN WHEAT KESARI



Kesari is a very common sweet in tamilnadu. for guests mostly we prepare rava kesari only for evening tiffin/ breakfast/dinner. This wheat kesari is not at all lesser than the regular rava kesari in taste.

We can make this wheat kesari using samba broken wheat. With that we can make upma or kichedi too. 

Actually I have first tasted this wheat kesari in a neighbor’s house who is from Andra Pradesh. She invited us for varalakshmi pooja and offered this kesari as neivethiyam to god. Later we too tasted this kesari and it was so yum!!. Really me and my hubby like that so much. Later me too have prepared this wheat kesari with normal broken wheat and it was good on every time.
