Rava Kesari/Semolina sweet

Kesari is a south Indian popular sweet made from rava.To get the best taste and texture to kesari it must be roasted very well.Kesari is usually made as naiveydya during the festivals.
I usually use saffron for color,but here I have used food color,I would recommend to use saffron as it gives a nice color,flavor and aroma to kesari.
You can add your choice of nuts.
