About Kesari

Kesari, a popular dessert originating from South Indian cuisine, is a semolina-based sweet often enjoyed during festive occasions or as a quick treat. Its key ingredients include semolina (rava), sugar, ghee (clarified butter), and water, with added flavorings like saffron or cardamom and garnishes of nuts and raisins. Kesari is rich in energy due to its carbohydrate and fat content, making it a satisfying indulgence. Semolina provides a modest amount of fiber and protein, while nuts contribute healthy fats and essential nutrients. However, Kesari is typically high in refined sugar and ghee, so moderation is advised, especially for those monitoring calorie or fat intake. The dish is loved for its vibrant color, aroma, and melt-in-the-mouth texture, which come together to deliver a delightful culinary experience rooted in traditional Indian flavors.
