Microwave Rava Kesri
Ingredients
1/2 cup rava (cream of wheat)
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups boiling hot water
6 tbsp unsalted butter
1/3 cup raisins
1/3 cup cashew nut pieces, roasted in butter and set aside
1 1/4 tsp saffron
5 cardomoms (opened & ground up)
Methods
- Combine boiling water with the sugar in a bowl. Add the cardomom and
saffron. Set aside.
- Put the butter into a clear glass microwaveable bowl. Microwave on high
for a minute or until the butter melts.
- Add the rava to the butter. Mix well, and microwave on high for about
two minutes or until the rava begins to foam.
- Stir in the sugar syrup mixture and add the raisins into the rava. Cover
tightly with Saran Wrap and cook on high for about three minutes or until it
starts to look a bit solid.
- Remove the Saran Wrap. (Be careful - the steam can scald!) Cook for
another minute or until the extra moisture evaporates.
- Remove from oven. Stir in the roasted cashew pieces.
Note: The times are approximate. Your oven probably behaves
differently from mine, so please watch the bowl through the glass throughout
the process or else your rava kesri could turn out like a rock.
