Aval ( Poha or Rice flakes) is the favourite food for lord Krishna and has a beautiful story behind it. So, on this day thought of making some neivedyam with aval to lord Krishna and hence came this aval kesari.
Ingredients:
- Aval (Poha, Rice flakes) - 1 cup
- Sugar - 1 1/2 cup
- Ghee - 1/3 cup
- Water - 2 cups
- Cardamom - 4
- Orange food colour - a pinch
- Cashews

How to make it:
Fry Aval in little ghee until it turns light brown. Add 2 cups water to it and cook until the aval becomes soft and well cooked. Now add sugar, cardamom powder and food colour and mix it thoroughly. Add ghee little by little and cook until it thickens. Heat 2 tsp ghee in a small pan, fry the cashews and raisins and add it to the kesari. Mix well. Decorate with a pinch of saffron on top for a great flavour.
