Ingredients


1 cup Semolina/Rava
1/2 cup Shredded Coconut
2/3 cup Sugar
2 Tbsp Ghee
1 Tsp Cardamom powder
2-3 Tbsp milk
2 Tbsp Cashew nuts and Raisins mixed

Keep stirring continually for 5 - 7 minutes coating the rava with ghee and mixing it with coconut. Add the cardamom powder and mix well.
Add the sugar and keep stirring till the sugar is almost dissolved.
Add the roasted cashew and raisins.
Now add 2 Tbsps of milk and mix thoroughly as the rava tends to thicken up.
