Rava Kesari is an Indian sweet which is very easy to prepare and is generally celebratory fare, whether served as prasadham (blessed food offerings) for minor ritual pujas or at grander affairs. For Palakkad Iyer weddings, rava kesari is always served as the sweet dish for wedding breakfasts.
This sweet is also made as “naivedhyam” (ritualistic offering of food to God before partaking of it)

February 25th, 2010Since I rarely plan meals ahead of time, I am usually at a loss for what to make when it’s time to get started on my cooking for the day. It was one of those weekend mornings when I was stumped, as usual, on what to make for breakfast. I turned to my bookmarks folder for help and inspiration came in the form of this recipe that I’d bookmarked ages ago, from Arundathi’s blog. The original recipe
