Notes
- Use a proper 2 little cooker which whistles on/all time
- Keep the flame on medium heat
- Preferably use 2 liter cooker. If your are using 3 liter cooker make sure quantity is at-least 1/4 of the cooker to avoid cooker from getting burnt
- Stir the sugar syrup well before turning on the stove
- Add ghee according to your taste
- Originally recipe called for 1/3 of sugar. Since we have a sweet tooth i increases it
- Kesari thickens overtime
- Carefully Release the pressure immediately otherwise sugar syrup will become watery
- If your Kesari is bit watery even after 25 minutes. Try to keep it for some more time or cook in medium flame for a minute
- If you are using cashew sauté in ghee and add
- Dry fruits, saffron can also be added
