Heat a kadai with mentioned quantity of ghee+oil.Roast the cloves and cashews till golden.Remove and set aside.In the same kadai,roast the rava till you get a nice smell but without changing its color.Switch off the stove and let the rava be in the same kadai.
Boil 2 cups of Water in a bowl adding food color. When the Water comes to a roll boil,add this Water to the roasted rava.
Mix the Water and rava. Add a pinch of salt. Switch on the stove and keep the flame in medium
Mix well till all the Water is absorbed by the rava.Close the kadai with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes.
When the Sugar is melted completely,mixture will become watery.So keep mixing till the kesari bath becomes thick and starts to leave the sides of pan. Add Cardamom powder, roasted cashews, cloves and mix well.
Transfer it to a Ghee greased bowl and flatten it with a ladle. It will fall like a ribbon and looks very loose in consistency.
But It will become just right when warm. Sprinkle more Cashews if needed and serve hot if you like. If you touch the kesari bath when its slightly warm, it should be non-sticky.Scoop it with aa ladle and serve hot to enjoy its best taste!
