If you are not confident / scared about trying out seedai,murukku recipes here is an easy recipe for you….I just made it like rava kesari recipe and it did satify my kesari craving 🙂 After the kitchen disaster I planned to keep it simple this year with homemade butter and aval urundai for gokulashtami which is a day away…Whats your plan?

Poha Kesari Recipe

My Notes:

  • You can add a pinch of cardamom powder instead of saffron just for variation.
  • Switch off when its slighting in flowing consistency as it will become thick while cooling down.
  • Adjust water level – may be you can start with 1/3 cup add poha,check then add remaining water.
  • Dont compromise on ghee as thats the main ingredient which adds great taste to this kesari.
