This Indian dessert is popular throughout the country. This is a very simple recipe and goes well with all occasions. This is made with Suji also called Semolina, Bombay Rava. This is originated in Karnataka and called Kesari Bhath. The word Kesari refers to the color saffron. But some also make this dessert without adding saffron color. Some add Orange color. It's totally up to you. It is widely popular as Suji/Sooji halwa in the North part of India, Rava Kesari in South Part of India. To get a fancy look you can try making different colored halwa batches and pile it up one on the other to get "Rainbow Effect".
