Kesari Bath is a traditional South Indian dish popular in Karnataka, known for its rich, aromatic flavor. It is a sweet semolina (sooji) preparation, often cooked with water, clarified butter (ghee), sugar, and infused with vibrant saffron and fragrant cardamom. This dessert is typically garnished with roasted cashews, raisins, and sometimes fresh fruit like pineapple for added texture and sweetness. Kesari Bath is a quick, satisfying treat commonly served during festivals, celebrations, or as part of a breakfast platter. While delicious, it is calorie-dense due to the use of sugar and ghee, making moderation important for a balanced diet. Semolina provides some nutritional value, including energy and trace amounts of protein. The inclusion of nuts and saffron adds antioxidants and healthy fats, but the dish is best considered an occasional indulgence rather than a daily staple.
