fruit kesari recipe – Navratri wishes to all the readers and friends celebrating this festival. Sharing a simple, quick and very delicious fruit kesari or fruit sheera that can be made during this festive season. You can find the complete collection of 33 navratri recipes here To make this fruit kesari recipe Apple, banana, pineapple go well. It tastes amazing with a punch of so many fruit flavors. The quantity of sugar used to make this is only half of the amount used to make the regular kesari recipe. It is one of the best to make when you have friends or guests visiting home since it has a special taste, flavor and looks beautiful.

fruits like mango and papaya can also be used, since i did not have them haven’t used. Without the addition of kesar/saffron this will be a fruit sheera, all that one would miss is the color and no change in the taste.

How to make fruit sheera or fruit kesari

1. Wash and chop all the fruits to tiny cubes. Set them aside.

2. Dry roast rava on a medium flame until it smells lightly roasted and turns crunchy. Do not roast too much as it discolors. Set this aside.

3. To the same pot, add 1.5 tbsp ghee. Fry cashews until golden on a medium flame. Add raisins and saute for one to 2 mins. I also used some dried apricots. This is optional. I soaked them in water until soft and then chopped. Set them all aside after frying in ghee.

4. Add chopped fruits and saute for 2 to 3 mins in ghee. This brings out the flavors of fruits well. You can also add chopped apricots now instead of adding it at the earlier step.

5. Add sugar. I used organic sugar. You can also add sugar after the rawa is cooked after step 11.

6. Pour water and add crushed saffron for the kesari color. If you do not have saffron, just skip it and make a fruit sheera.

7. Bring it to a boil and cook for 3 minutes. This will melt the sugar and bring out the deep color from saffron.
