Apple kesari step by step instructions:
Ingredients:
Semolina (sooji/rawa): ½ cup
Apple: ½ cup (peeled and cut into small pieces)
Water: 1 ½ cups
Sugar: ½ cup
Saffron strands: 5-6
Milk: 1 tsp
Ghee: ½ cup less 1 tbsp
Cashew nuts: 1 tbsp (broken into pieces)
Almonds: 1 tbsp (broken into pieces)
Raisins: 1 tbsp
Cardamom: 4 (freshly pounded)
Method:
1. Heat milk and dissolve the saffron strands into it.
2. Take half of the ghee in a non-stick pan. Heat it.
3. Add cashew nuts, almonds and raisins. Fry for a few seconds or until the dry fruits start giving a nice aroma.
4. In another bowl heat water and when the water starts boiling add apple pieces. Cook for about 1-2 minutes and then switch off the flame.
5. Add semolina and stir continuously for about 10-12 minutes or until the semolina changes color and imparts fragrance.
6. Add the hot apple water slowly to the semolina. Be careful as the semolina splutters a lot when water is added.
7. Mix well. The sheera will start getting collected. Add saffron milk and mix well.
8. Now add sugar and mix.
9. Add cardamom powder and the remaining ghee and mix well. Switch off the flame.
10. Scrumptious apple kesari is ready.
11. Garnish with cashew nuts and serve hot.
Tips:
1. The quantity of sugar can be adjusted as per one's requirement.
2. You can add cinnamon powder also. It gives a nice flavor as we all know that; apples with cinnamon are a great combination.
3. I prefer using non-stick pans for making halwa. A normal pan would also work fine.
4. Make sure you do not burn the semolina while roasting. A burnt halwa won’t be liked by anyone.
5. You can even grate the apples instead of keeping chunks of it.
See you soon with a new recipe till then Happy Cooking!!!
By name, the recipe sounds somewhat complicated but trust me it is very simple. It is made from semolina and apples. So I can say that it is sooji ka halwa with apples in it.
I made this halwa for the first time today and it turned out to be perfect. I loved the crunchiness of apples inside the kesari.
Let us start cooking!!!
