Kesari, this Indian semolina pudding have their own place in most of the celebration, festival or else for special occasions. Obviously if i pick an interesting theme like Festival of the month for this week's theme for blogging marathon how can i skip making kesari. I want to showcase Ugadi festival as the festival of this month. Ugadi is New year day of Hindus of Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states of India.And this year Ugadi was celebrated on 18th March, though its late to post i couldnt stop myself to post Ugadi special dishes. For the first day of this week's blogging marathon, i couldnt stop myself to post this fantastic Coconut loaded rava kesari for this special occasion.
The addition of coconut will definitely brings an exotic twist to this usual delightful kesari. A prefect sweet to prepare and enjoy on a special day or for a festival. Seriously freshly grated coconut when dry roasted and added to the cooking semolina brings a subtle flavor to this simple sweet. While googling for a Ugadi special dish, i got hooked to this Kobbari Rava kesari from Hari Chandana's Space, seriously i was so tempted to give a try to this interesting combination. I prepared this kesari on Ugadi and we enjoyed this sweet thoroughly. Thank you Hari Chandana for sharing this delicious sweet.
