Notes & variations

Double roasted rava gives the best texture and prevents lumps. Add ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder for extra flavour. Fry 2 tablespoons of cashew nuts and raisins in a little ghee and mix them in before serving. Alphonso or Kesar mango pulp gives the richest flavour and colour. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
