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.
Yes, colour is not deep. Thankyou for the visit.
I love kesari , a kiwi one would be so delicious , it looks awesome !
A hot kesari would be welcome on a winter afternoon .
Thankyou 🙂
what a lovely way to use the fruit in Kesari… lovely twist to the usual Pineapple / rava kesari
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.
Thankyou Sapana, they love kesari at home.
Nice addition of kiwi in kesari.It probably gives a slight tangy flavor, right?
Yes, Harini, so we should not add more of it.
Very innovative kesari, adding kiwi sounds absolutely interesting, wish i get a plate of this kesari rite now. Delicious.
Thankyou
Rava kesari or halwa with a tiny tangy note, sounds interesting. Kids would love this dish for sure.
Wow a good way to use Kiwi in a kesari. looks yum and delicious.
Wow Jayashree, that’s an interesting recipe, adding kiwi to kesari. Awesome. Would love to try it.
That is quite an innovative kesari recipe. The addition of kiwi puree must give a nice flavor to it.
Never ever thought of kesari with kiwi! That is very interesting…
Wow.. halwa with kiwi!! Sounds yummy.. will love to try this sweet and tangy dish!!
Very interesting and innovative Kesari with kiwi. Definitely going to try this recipe soon. Thanks for sharing this delicious Kesari.
Kiwi sounds like a nice touch to the rava kesari.
Adding kiwi to regular kesari is so interesting. I have used mango and pineapples before, but never thought of Kiwi.
