Millet Kesari
This simple Millet Kesari is an Indian style Gluten-free Vegan dessert. It can be made with any millets of your choice.
Equipment
- Non stick pan
- High speed blender
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
- 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.
