- Once the rava is cooked, add the saffron soaked in the milk. Also, add the remaining ghee, roasted cashew nuts and raisins. Mix well and serve hot or warm.
Notes
* I personally prefer using homemade ghee as its aroma is so distinct that there is no substitute for it.
** As I do not prefer artificial food dyes, I use saffron strands. You can instead use orange (kesari color) to yellow food colour as per your taste.
