Hi Bharathi,
Pl try and let me know the result.
My mother in law loves kesari and she is a master in cooking…….. I want her to impress by doing this fruit kesari……. will let u know her comments soon!!!!!!!!!!
Banana, Apple and Papaya may hold their shape when chopped into small cubes. But how can I cut Sapota (it will become mushy) or Orange (it will be watery) into cubes ? Also, both will turn into paste when cooked. How to avoid this?
Hi Sudha Kannan,
If you choose fully riped but firm sapota, you can cut it easily without making it mushy. Orange segments also, just feel the white skin and make it into two pieces. When you fry these in ghee, it will become little firm. Moreover when you add at the end of the cooking, it will blend with the kesari and even the orange mashed with the kesari, it will give nice orange flavour.
Hi Madam, can v use coconut milk instead of water plz suggest.
Coconut milk will make the kesari more heavy and when you cook the coconut milk for long time (till the rawa cooked), the milk will turn into oil. Taste will also differ.
