- Any millet of your choice - 1 cup
- Sugar - 1 cup
- Vegetable oil - ½ cup (ghee for non vegan )
- Cardamom powder - ¼ tsp
- Cashews - 10
- Raisins - 10
- Water - 3.5 to 4 cups
In a pan ( preferably non-stick) dry roast the millets till it's aromatic and turns slightly golden.
Cool and grind it coarsely to a rava like consistency.
Now cook the ground millets in water. Initially add 3.5 cups of water and add the remaining water gradually. Cook till the millets absorb all the water.
Now add 1 cup of sugar and stir continuously.
The mixture turns watery and stir till it solidifies again.
Add ½ cup of oil and mix till the mixture leaves the sides of the pan.
Add cardamom powder.
Garnish with the nuts of your choice.
Serve warm.
- Instead of dry roasting you can also roast the millet in ghee and substitute oil with ghee in non vegan version.
- Millet Kesari turns little bit hard on cooling so it's better to serve warm.
- You can also store this in the refrigerator upto 5 days and reheat before serving.
