Toast the cashews and raisins in ghee for 2 minutes, then set aside.
Toast the semolina in the same fat for 6 minutes, until fragrant.
Boil the water, sugar, saffron, cardamom, and salt in a separate pot.
Pour the hot syrup into the semolina little by little, stirring constantly.
Cook the dessert for 7 minutes, until thickened.
Add the cashews and raisins and rest for 3 minutes.
Serve rava kesari hot or warm.
💡 Tip: Pouring in the syrup all at once can make lumps; adding it gradually lets the semolina swell evenly.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot in small bowls with extra cashews and a few saffron threads on top.
