About Rice kesari

Rice Kesari is a popular South Indian dessert made from semolina (rava), ghee, sugar, and typically flavored with saffron or turmeric for its signature golden hue. Garnished with roasted cashews and raisins, this dish is celebrated for its rich taste and simplicity. Commonly served during festivals and special occasions, it offers a small dose of energy through its combination of carbohydrates from semolina and healthy fats from ghee and nuts. While the saffron adds antioxidants and a distinct aroma, the dessert is calorie-dense due to the use of sugar and ghee, making portion control important for those tracking their intake. Variations may include cardamom for added flavor or reduced sugar for a lighter option. Rice Kesari exemplifies the indulgent yet traditional flavors of Indian cuisine, bringing comfort and festivity in every bite.
