Kiwi Kesari
Kiwi Kesari
Written by Jayashree

Rawa kesari or Sheera as we often call in South India makes a good winter treat. Today, I have a fusion sweet, sheera with kiwi in it. A bowl of piping hot kiwi kesari  was one of the favourites of my daughter a few years back.

This is the 3rd post  of BM#96 with the theme “Winter Warmers” The other two posts were Badam Milk and Hot Chocolate Milk

Now, here’s the recipe for Kiwi Kesari

Ingredients:              Measurement used:1 cup =250 ml
1 cup semolina
1/2 cup  ghee
2 kiwi
1 cup sugar
6 almonds
6 cashew
1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
2 cup water

Method:
1 Peel the skin of kiwi, cut into big chunks and make pulp of it. Keep it aside.
2 Take a pan, add a spoon of ghee and roast the semolina along with the dry fruits. It should be golden in colour.
3 Remove the semolina in a bowl.
4 Add water in the pan. Put sugar and ghee to it. Once the water boils, slowly add the roasted semolina to it. Keep stirring otherwise lumps will be formed.
5 Once it slightly thickens, add puree to it. Let cook for sometime. Finally, add cardamom powder and remove from flame.

Kiwi kesari sounds good. Pureeing kiwi is a cool idea. Nice twist to a classic recipe!

Kiwi kesari is quite new to me. I initially thought the color would be deeper but then realized that it imparts a very pale color.

I have only tried plain rava kesari, I am yet to try the popular pineapple kesari and here you are with another version of kiwi. Have to bookmark this one as well.
