Kesariya meethe chawal or Sweet saffron rice is a very traditional dessert made on the auspicious occasion of Basant panchami, every year. This delicious and aromatic sweet saffron rice is first offered to goddess Saraswati (the goddess of knowledge) and then to all family members as prasad.

The final result of the rigorous boiling, cooking and mixing is a rich dessert that is loaded with aromatic ingredients such as cardamom with a mouth watering flavour playing peek-a-boo with your sweet taste buds.
