Kesari Bhath or Saffron Halwa: Karnataka Special

Anamika Banerjee
Anamika Banerjee @LadyLazarrus_9663
Bangalore- INDIA

This is the most popular & commonest forms to satiate one’s sweet tooth in the state of Karnataka and is also widely known as the Rava KESARI-
Even before stepping into the city of Bangalore almost around 10 yrs back, I too was unaware of this one and I was introduced to it by my husband.

Though, the ones that’s available in the local shops herein the city or state is overly sweetened & filled with Dalda, also they merely use the saffron being the costliest one-
Purely a few occasional strands are found here & there in the dish the rest are the artificial saffron colours used !!!

However, if you try to prepare this at home with the right amount of sweetness & pure desi ghee & using the authentic saffron strands-
You’ll notice or know the difference yourself

Steps

20 mins.
  1. 1

    First Up: Soak the measured saffron strands in some warm water/milk (I’ve used the admixture of both), set aside- Heat up a frying pan over the medium flame- Add in the half quantity of the aforementioned ghee to it & pour in the measured suji/rava to it to sauté until a bit lighter in feel & slightly nutty in its aroma & sandy in the texture

  2. 2

    While sautéing the rava, on another burner- In a small frying pan add in about a tbsp of ghee & gently sauté the dry fruits, aforesaid- Once done, set aside. Once the rava is well sautéed as desired- Add in the boiled water to it & mix well or alternatively, in the boiled water pan- Pour in the sautéd Rava & reducing the heat, covering it up, let it cook for a couple of mins time

    Once this stage is attained: Uncover, add in the sugar now, mix everything nicely together until perfectly combined and well blended, Add in the cardamom powder at this point- Mix well, heat to be kept in the medium-low consistently now until it’s well cooked entirely…Add in the Sautéd Dry Fruits too & again well mix everything together

  4. 4

    Add in the reserved ghee now- Mix it well enough to get nicely incorporated with the rest of the ingredients in the pan- Once it starts leaving the pan on its own (Just in a minute or so, you’d realise that)- Turning off the flame, immediately transfer it to the serving bowls or platters

  5. 5

    It’d take the shape of the very bowl in which you’d place in- Then, just before serving it hot, plate it up nicely with your desired garnishing & it’s now ready to be grabbed simply, just in no time…

A hardcore Bong- that has a tremendous wanderlust in her blood as well as that much passion for cooking new ideas and recipes & also, camouflaging certain recipes across the globe-Of course, all that maintains its heritage and cultures in its looks and taste both yet caters to the day’s call/requirement to be health conscious but a great foodie that’s innate in her genes and tries to satiate the crowd- Be ANY, with all that 😊💁🏻‍♀️👍🏻
