1 cup fine rava or sooji or semolina
5 to 6 tbsp ghee

2: dissolve sugar, water and saffron in a another pan. keep on flame and allow it to come to a boil
3: meanwhile continue to roast the rava (semolina) and add cardamom powder. roast till you can see the ghee getting separated and when you see the cashews getting browned. the color of the rava should not become brown. this takes approx 7-8 minutes on a low flame.
4: let the sugar-saffron solution come to a boil.
5: pour the sugar-saffron solution in the ghee-rava mixture slowly with continuous stirring.
6: the rava or sooji will absorb the water and swell and the mixture will thicken. stir till the mixture starts to leave the sides of the pan. switch off and then cover the pan for 5 minutes just to allow the rava kesari to steam. if you want to make slices, then immediately pour the rava kesari mixture in a greased pan or tray. spread evenly and when warm or cooled, cut into diamond shaped or square slices.
7: serve hot or warm rava kesari as it is. you can also serve rava kesari as a side sweet dish.
Notes
you can add a few tbsp of ghee if you want in the rava kesari.
