- Finally add cardamom powder and chopped cashew nuts. Mix well and remove.
We should add only the beetroot juice?
Ji Jayanthi,
In this recipe, I have added beetroot juice to give natural colour to the kesari. You can also use carrot juice and make Carrot Banana Kesari. Or even for normal kesari, we can use fresh veg juices to get natural colour.
Mam , me and my Husband never like Beetroot ,. But after seeing these , i have tried few beetroot recipes which we love to do frequently. Tastier and healthier. Thanks !
Thank you Rekha for trying the recipe and writing your feedback.

Wow surely I’m goin to try this…….
what is Rawa ?
Rawa is “semolina”.
vow it is delicious
Dear Mam,
Should we cook the beetroot and then grind it? Rawa is large size or small size?
No need to cook. Just grind it raw. Small size rawa blends well. However, you can also use bigger size raw too.
