Rawa Kesari | Sheera | Prasad recipe
Written by Jayashree

Jump to RecipePrint Recipe

Rawa Kesari is quite often prepared in most households. It is called by different names as Rawa Kesari, Sheera or as Sooji ka halwa in different parts of the country. In South India, Sheera is made as offering during the Satyanarayan Pooja. 

The ease of making it and the different flavours which one can impart to it makes it a favourite of every household. It is ideal to pair with breakfast, lunch or dinner. In olden times,  kesari with jaggery was often made.  Earlier, I have shared mango kesari.

The method of making the sheera as offering is different from the usual one. It is tasty and different from the usual one. Today, I am sharing the recipe of the same.
