PAPAYA KESARI

Kesari is a sweet dish made with suji, sugar during festivals and also for weddings.  Normally we add kaju kishmish etc. in this but  I have made papaya kesari with little twist in it.  This dish came out very well.    This can be cut into pieces and serve or can be scooped too.

Let us  look at the recipe now:

Ingredients:

400 gm  ripe papaya
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup  milk
2 tbsp suji
2 drops of vanilla essence
1 tsp grated coconut
3 tbsp ghee
2 tbsp charoli
1 tbsp musk melon seeds
kaju, pistachios as you wish
1/4 tsp cardamom powder
1 tsp corn flour  (optional)

Method:

cut the papaya into cubes, add sugar, 1/2 cup  water and pressure cook the same for 4-5 whistles. cool and grind to a smooth paste along with the corn flour and essence.

In a kadai, heat ghee, add the rava and roast it like you roast the same for the sheera.  add the milk and cook the same till the milk is dried up.  add the papaya puree, grated coconut  into it and cook till it starts leaving the sides of the kadai.  add the charoli, little dry fruits, mix well and transfer it into a greased plate.

garnish with the melon seeds and remaining nuts.   cool it, keep it in fridge.  then cut into desired shape if you wish or serve scooped out with spoon.

This is a different kind of kesari.  Hope u all will like it and do post your comments on the blog and share it on FB.
