Kesari (Strawberry flavoured)

This is strawberry flavoured kesari. Hershey's strawberry syrup was sitting in my cupboard for sometime. I love its flavour and colour. I didn't know it would come out this well. The result was very tasty. I made this for a few friends of mine and they all loved it. Here I haven't added any extra colour. It is the colour of the syrup. Do try this one for your kid.

Ingredients

• Rava/semolina - 1/2 cup
• Water - 1 cup (boiled)
• Sugar - 1 cup
• Cardamom - 5 
• Hershey's strawberry syrup - 1/3 cup
• Ghee - 3 tbsp

Method

• Powder sugar along with cardamom seeds. Keep aside
• Heat a pan and add rava. 
• Dry roast it for 2-3 minutes till you get an aroma (don't burn it).
• To this add boiled water and stir on low flame. If required add more water so rava cooks well. (Mash all the lumps)
• Once it has cooked add sugar-cardamom powder and stir well. 
• Add the Hershey's strawberry syrup.
• Allow it to thicken. Stir occasionally. It will thicken soon. 
• Now add ghee and stir until it starts pulling away from the pan. (it becomes a mass and doesn't stick to the pan)
• Grease a plate with ghee and spread this kesari onto it. 
• When it cools down cut into desired shape and enjoy.
