Rava kesari is one easy sweet that can be made in a jiffy. This is one no fail recipe of Rava Keasai. Rava Kesari would have been prepared at least once in any South Indian Kitchen .Whenever I crave for anything sweet, the sweet that comes in my mind is Rava Kesari. This could be made in no time with the available ingredients from your kitchen. This could also be served to sudden guests in home. The goodness of this kesari is that it melts in mouth. Authentic Kesari is served in many South Indian Weddings.
I have prepared the Kesari multiple time so the color of the kesari might be different in the pictures .As I have used different Kesari powder.

This rava kesari sounds delicious, I have never made it with water as in gujarati cuisine we make it with milk and call it sheero. This is a lovely variation.
